Description
Love Your Neighbor functions as a bridge to the community, offering community support services to under-resourced families through partnerships with churches, businesses, schools, and local government. Serving from an asset-based approach is what sets us apart in our community support services. We recognize and address the need, but more importantly, recognize that the need is not what defines the person who is under-resourced.

Program areas at LYN

Coordinating area churches to respond to the needy by serving as a clearinghouse for individuals and families; receiving the phone calls, verifying the needs and directing the needy. LYN offers classes for social and economic education, job training and mentoring. We operate a food bank and supply member churches with goods and administrative assistance to effectively help families. LYN has developed over 50 ministries to help the needy including appliance and bike repairs, transportation, medical equipment, crib ministry, foster care kits, diaper bag kits, furniture and food pantry.
Love Your Neighbor receives donations of household items, clothing and more to supply to the needy through the area churches. Because of an abundance of goods, we operate Loves Treasures wherein donated goods are sold to the general public at thrift store prices. Through the efforts of many volunteers, the proceeds fund the ongoing operations of LYN.
