Neighbor in Need requests met in 2023
The needs in our community are overwhelming. Have you found yourself wanting to help, but not knowing how? Or not wanting to make a bad situation worse by enabling a cycle of need? That’s where we come in. We have trained compassionate staff and volunteers who listen to the needs of our neighbors and offer them hope, encouragement, and opportunities for change.
Uniting our community to provide HOPE and HELP to those who need it
Below are the types of programs and assistance available through Love INC of Southwest Florida.
Pathways Program
We desire for every neighbor to grow and flourish in their God-given purpose and design. To that end, we offer a one-on-one mentoring program that pairs caring volunteers with neighbors to develop goals in six significant life areas to lead them on a pathway to sustainability and success.
Financial Assistance
There are a variety of reasons why people get behind. That's why we offer financial assistance along the way*, to those who are willing to participate in a journey toward their own recovery and success.
*Certain criteria apply. Not everyone is eligible for financial assistance.
Material Assistance
Whether it be food, clothing, furniture, or various other needs, we can connect you to churches, agencies, organizations, and people that can help you find what you're looking for.
Network
Classes
Several of our network churches and organizations offer classes and programs each semester. Things like ESL, computer skills, Bible studies, relational seminars. We'd be happy to enroll you in any of these ever changing offerings, based on the issues you're facing in your life.
