Love INC Opens
Many of you are saying, "What happened to Love INC.?" Well, Love In the Name of Christ of the Brokenstraw Valley is continuing to move forward to bring a ministry of churches together who jointly will help in providing food, clothing, furniture, and much more to those who may need some support and help in the Brokenstraw Valley. The group is an extension of the National Love Inc affiliations working together to provide a hand up to the community.
The covered ranges north to Sugar Grove, south to Tidioute, east to Irvine, and west to Grand Valley. Currently there are ten area churches committed to this mission.
Love INC is in the process of opening an operations office at 205 East Main Street in Youngsville, in the former Northwest Savings office. However the ministry itself is not yet open to serve. The Board of Directors is comprised of Chairman Michelle Holcomb, Vice Chair Jill Bennett, Secretary Norma Dey, Treasurer Barb Holmes, Don Thomas, and Herb West. On Oct. 11 they are attending a planning session/retreat at Olmstead Manor in Ludlow. Plans will be finalized for the first annual meeting, to be held Nov. 11 at Otterbein Church in Pittsfield.
Anyone interested in the ministry of Love INC is invited to attend the annual meeting. More information on that will be forthcoming.
