01What it does

What Love Inc of Douglas Co Lakes Area does

Mission

Organize and coordinate churches to meet community needs.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. Throughout 2022, the love inc ministry mobilized church volunteers to assist adults and children with needs and to serve in the operations of love inc. There are currently 34 churches in the network. Client needs consisted of school shoes and supplies, personal hygiene necessities, home cleaning supplies, food, gas, winter wear, christmas gifts, clothing, furniture, and large appliances. In addition, love inc walked beside them in life changing classes, met them emotionally with referrals, guidance, and support, all while surrounding them with love and prayer. In the love inc clearinghouse church volunteers completed caring phone conversations with our neighbors in need of physical, emotional, relations or spiritual aid. Many important referrals were given to unite people with the available resources in the lakes area. The love inc sponsored life changing skill classes offered numerous hours of education and encouragement to clients as needed.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $116k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
