Thanksgiving Basket Sponsor Opportunity

by | Sep 23, 2016 | News & Notes

Love INC is thinking ahead to Thanksgiving and the needs the families participating in our Life Skills Program will have at that time. We are asking for Food Basket Sponsors to provide supplies/ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving meal to help make a family’s celebration special. Please prayerfully consider blessing others during this season. This is a wonderful project for a small group, friends or neighbors to get involved in. This year we anticipate the need for 65 Thanksgiving Food Baskets.

It’s quite incredible that all of this happens almost every day, and every week, by diligent volunteers who embody our diligence core value.

Not only is there a large variety of “things to do,” but also a deep investment by those who say yes to volunteering. Most volunteers serve weekly, some even daily, spending hundreds of hours donating the gift many of us hold most tightly – the gift of time.

In 2023 alone, 420 volunteers invested 49,120 hours – a value of $1.5 million! 

Our core mission is to love, serve and connect with dignity as we follow Jesus Christ closely, watching how he transforms lives – and we often highlight the transformation happening through our Life Skills Program.

What we often forget to highlight is that God is also transforming lives through volunteerism, giving community members purpose, friendship, creativity, and belonging. Here at Love, we believe everyone has something to offer.

If you are a volunteer, at Love Your Neighbor or elsewhere, thank you for this priceless gift!
