In Kootenai County, ID 18,700 out of 148,000 people live below the poverty line and many find themselves trapped in their situations and unable to walk out of it on their own. The objective of Love INC is to partner with local churches to engage and help our neighbors in need. We aim to see churches working together in unity, committed to helping individuals and families in need grow toward self-sufficiency and transformation by the love of Christ.
Individual churches cannot fully meet the needs of every individual and family asking for help. Existing resources operating independently are just not adequate to meet current and growing levels of need. It takes a faith community working together across denominational lines to meet the multifaceted needs. Love INC helps churches pool their resources (volunteers, ministries, and finances) together.

Love INC offers help to clients who call in asking for assistance. Through a phone application process, verification and a voucher system, clients are able to receive donated product at our “Gap” ministries hosted by local churches. However, our goal is to treat causes rather than just symptoms of need, believing that people have inherent worth in Christ and that we are called to love them and invest in them relationally. In addition to product assistance, we offer clients free community courses and long-term mentoring if they are willing to engage in our Transformational Ministry Programs and work towards lasting change in their lives
