Seeking to Help Those Facing Challenges

Homelessness has become a difficult challenge in the Tri-Cities over recent years. Love in Action is very much at the center of the organizations seeking to help those facing this challenge in northwest Ottawa County.

The LIA Storehouse: Building a Brighter Future

Over the past two decades, our current Donation Processing Center at 1106 Fulton St. has served as the heart of our operations, processing countless donations of food, clothing, furniture, and other essential items to support our community.

A Community-Driven Force for Good

Imagine a single non-profit ministry that provided food, shelter, clothing, furniture, appliances, along with a health and dental clinic. Imagine that it thrived due to hundreds of volunteers working together to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

Making a Difference: Volunteering at Love in Action

This autumn, it seems easy to feel overwhelmed by the increasing sadness, challenges, and anger that seem to permeate our world. It can be tempting to disengage and retreat from the difficulties.

Finding Hope and Healing at Love in Action

Love in Action's Sheltered Housing Program offers more than just shelter and food for homeless men, women, and children. These are crucial needs, but the longing goes deeper.

Resale Store Renovation

As you drive through Spring Lake, you may have noticed that our beloved LIA Resale Store is undergoing a significant renovation.

Forward Freedom

One of our favorite moments at Love in Action is when we hear from those we have served in the past. Each day, LIA provides food, advice, support, housing, healthcare, and dozens of other services.

Joy in a Blizzard

Love in Action hosts dozens of food trucks each year, feeding from 7,000 to 10,000 people. We recently learned that there are a surprising number of unserved households lacking food in Fruitport.

Love in Action Community Co-op Thriving!

The Community Co-op is in its fourth month already. We are thrilled by the supportive community that is forming! Over 140 households are represented, with over 300 new members being served.

 

Thank you for your gift. Lives are changed, not merely because resources make a difference, but also because compassion does.
