Love of North Marion County

In 2023 Love Inc continued to provide services for an upward of over 4,300 individuals and families, a 9% increase from 2022. In the North Marion County area, the most requested services continued to be utility assistance, baby safety items (stroller, car seats, pack n plays, booster seats, diaper bag backpacks), personal and home care needs and clothing. We expanded utility assistance to two additional cities, gervais and hubbard. Clothing donations have continued to increase, and we have been able to share clothing donations with the schools in our area. We are excited to continue to offer suicide prevention training. Our partnership with area churches has expanded during the past year and we have been able to add household goods and baby furniture to our ministries. We were very grateful to reinstate our dinner gala fundraiser, our first since 2019. We also added a dessert & music fundraiser in 2023.
