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.

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.

As you drive through Spring Lake, you may have noticed that our beloved LIA Resale Store is undergoing a significant renovation.
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.
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.
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.
Living alone for years now, Charles had become adept at tackling challenges one step at a time. Yet, recent events had tested his resilience.
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.
Love in Action is known for creating a hand up, a path forward for those in need, in a word—empowerment. But empowerment only works when we truly care. During the Christmas season, we lost one of our most dedicated partners, Dorothy Raha. Dorothy served in many roles but especially as the care coordinator for St Mary’s Parish in Spring Lake, dating back to the 1960’s.
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.
