Our Mission

Love INC helps connect the calling of local churches to the struggles of the community to bring transformation.

Are you struggling?

Are the bills piling up? Does each day seem harder than the last? Many families here in the valley are one bill away from crisis. They often feel unloved, unworthy, and alone in their struggles. You are not alone. We can help. God has helped Love INC transform countless lives in the Yakima Valley. No matter the situation, you are loved and worthy of all the help we can give – without the judgment.

Join Us

In every community, people possess gifts and talents that can be used for ministry, but they often don’t know how to connect with neighbors in need who are seeking those exact skills at that exact time. Love INC helps churches mobilize their members to reach out to their neighbors in need, by creating specific, manageable opportunities that utilize the unique skills and talents of their congregation to fill unmet needs in the community.

IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY

Giving Hope

When you support Love INC it impacts people like Debbie,* a recent Love INC graduate. When Debbie started Emerge (Love INC’s Tuesday night program), she was living in a shelter after reporting domestic violence to the police. She had a tremendous debt load and needed to find a place to live, but she was smart and very motivated to get out of debt. As Debbie progressed in her budgeting and saving skills, she developed a debt snowball spreadsheet that enabled her to get started paying off her debt. She had a lot of ups and downs with her health, family drama, and stress from a tight schedule, but she managed to pay off over $20,000 in debt before graduation time!

Hope That Transforms

“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31.

Over the last 18 years God has brought together churches in the Yakima Valley together to serve our community. Today, Love In the Name of Christ Yakima County is a partnership of 27 area churches working together to serve those who continue to live in the margins and be overlooked. Since 2007, volunteers from these churches have answered over 16,000 calls asking for help and served almost 7500 individuals and families. This year, as we look back and remember all that God has done, we want to pause and give thanks to God for His faithfulness and provision over these last 18 years.

 
Here are some ways you can partner with Love INC this year for our month of Hope That Transforms:
 

1. Give a gift of hope by donating

2. Volunteer your time so we can continue to serve those in the margins. 

3. Follow us on social media
