Unexpected Answer to Prayers

This winter season a poignant encounter with a client reminded us again of how blessed we are and who we serve. An individual who came to us was facing a difficult situation.

A Community of Resources

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.

A Baby Showered with Hope and Love

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.

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.

More Than A Shelter

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.

Hope in the Midst of Community

Living alone for years now, Charles had become adept at tackling challenges one step at a time. Yet, recent events had tested his resilience.

Hope Restored

Wendy McGregor, Love in Action’s Director of Housing, recalls reading a children’s book called “Heartprints” at Hope House, our sheltered housing for women and children. The story expresses that when we are kind and show love to one another, we leave an impression that is passed on.

Note from ED-Jun2023

One of the major challenges of 2023 is homelessness. We’d love to share  how Love in Action is combatting this problem in our community. Our goal is to provide each person with a place of compassionate care in the same way Jesus cares for each of us.

Sharing Thanks

Leslie came to Love in Action after a history of severe substance abuse, addiction and multiple overdoses. After graduating from Hope House, LIA’s women and children’s transitional housing shelter, Leslie wrote a note to the Hope House community sharing her thanks and her story

Bringing Light to a Dark Moment

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.

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