Carla came to Love in Action due to a variety of needs. In her intake with a volunteer advisor, she shared that recently her medication had increased in cost far beyond her financial means.
Sarah came to LIA after years of being homeless off and on. A very young mother-to-be, she had been raised by a parent who had also been homeless. She came to Hope House and felt the love of the many residents and staff as they embraced her.
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.
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.

Despite a series of health issues Pete had been suffering with, he was managing and remaining strong. But his latest health diagnosis came as a surprise – cancer. His particular cancer is believed to have been caused by the work to which he had devoted 35 years of his life. Still, being an independent person of strong spirit, he soldiered on.
We believe in the potential of each individual and seek to help people by not only meeting their needs but helping them discover their God-given gifts and abilities. Our mission is transforming lives by empowering people to thrive.
