Love INC is developed to operate in a three-tiered model...
Level 1: Clearinghouse
The Clearinghouse is the foundation of Love INC. Love INC receives requests for help, screens the requests for extent of need and legitimacy, and refers the requests to a local church ministry, church volunteer, or community agency. Love INC follows up to ensure the need was met and to offer spiritual support. Through the Clearinghouse, Love INC also identifies gaps in services and resources in the community and helps churches develop ministries to "fill in the gaps" of needs not being met by government or agencies.
Level 2: Relational Ministry
Love INC helps individuals and families in chronic need make lasting changes in their lives. Through relational ministry, Love INC trains and links church members with people in need on a long-term basis to provide mentoring, goal setting, skills training, and spiritual and emotional support, along iwththe full array of services and resources available through the Love INC network.
Level 3: Comprehensive Community Development
Love INC goes even further to meet the needs of communities by addressing the deeper issues that contribute to poverty and hopelessness, such as lack of affordable housing and health care resources.
