Note from ED-Summer2022

Love in Action’s services have grown to wrap around the many needs that local families and individuals face. With thirty-five supporting churches, dozens of partnering corporations and organizations, and hundreds of caring individuals, LIA is growing into a culture of people caring for each other from one end of our community to the other.

Debbie’s story highlights the many components required for success. Friendships that began forming at an LIA food distribution turned into more than just food provision. A community was formed around Debbie which resulted in her joining EmpowerU’s Financial Fitness class and experiencing financial freedom. Perhaps even more central to her needs, Debbie now celebrates holidays with these same people. Her ability to build relationships has been a key component to her success.

When we combine needed resources like food with information and learning resources we affect minds and bodies. When these things are done in a community where real friendships are formed, our hearts are blessed as well. Community is where real change occurs. At Love in Action we believe all of us can be transformed and this transformation happens best in community and through relationships.

Recently the number of our neighbors contacting Love in Action has again spiked—a 30% increase in May alone. Please consider giving this summer, a time when generosity often decreases. Even small amounts are crucial as every bit counts. The difference you make here is measured in real lives that are blessed and changed forever!
