Coffee & Bagels

On Wednesday, August 6th, we’d love for pastors and mission leaders to join us for coffee and bagels at the Love in Action Community Co-op. We continue to believe our primary mission is to serve the Church of the Tri-Cities by equipping and mobilizing it to meaningfully serve those in need. We want to share all that we see God doing in our community. 

The Co-op is located at 1500 S DeSpelder St, and we will meet at 10 AM. Please email megan@loveinactiontricities.com to confirm your attendance

Blue Cross Blue Shield Matching Grant

Help us gain $25,000 in matching funds by giving to the Love in Action Medical & Dental Center in July and August. Any gift given during this period, up to $10,000*, will be matched 2.5 times by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Investing in providing health care to our area’s vulnerable individuals does good for all of us; this matching grant opportunity is a great way to make a difference! Just make sure BCBS Grant or Clinic are on the memo line of any check or in the notes box in an online donation, and your gifts will go to this effort. We cannot thank you enough! 

Gifts above the match amount will go toward Medical Center needs.
