Did you know that in the Love Inc Family Cupboard is the largest single food pantry in Racine county and that last month it served 353 households (1,400+ individuals!)? These households had to show proof that they met state guidelines in terms of low income status. Last year at this time the Food Pantry served 306 households.
Did you know that the Love Inc Shoes For Kids program provided new shoes and school supplies to 535 school aged children this month? The number of kids served is up 22% from last year and the kids are still coming.
Did you now that Love inc provides financial counseling that includes direct assistance in managing the daily finances (including managing check books) of 38 low income households? Five years ago that number was 6 households, last year Love worked with 18 households. Helping families learn how to manage their resources, pay their bills, and stay of out debt has had a huge impact on the lives of these people and the well being of the larger community.
Did you know that last year 506 families, including 1,182 children were served in the Adopt-A-Family Christmas program alone and this year we expect the number of families needing Christmas assistance to be up dramatically.
Did you know that Love, Inc. is holding one of its largest fund raisers AKA The Toy Run for the Funds for Families and Adopt-A-Family Christmas programs on Sunday, September 7? Last year over 1,400 bikers brought in over $20,000 in donations to assist families with various needs. Love Inc supplies the volunteers to feed this huge crowd of Harley enthusiasts. Love, Inc. needs volunteers to make salads, help set up, serve and clean up the ChocolateFest Grounds that day. Please contact Dena Corey at Love, Inc. 262-763-6226 for more information, or stop by to pick up an aluminum salad container and your Love, Inc. T-shirt.

Did you now that Love, Inc is YOU..and people like you… who have given their time and money to help those in need to help themselves? Love Inc was founded by local churches to honor God and share the abundance of blessings they have received from God with others. Please consider the ways you can expand your service to those in need as you respond to God’s gracious provision for you and your family.
