Life Skills
Don’t struggle alone.
More than 94,000 households in Ottawa and Kent counties are living in survival mode—making more than the poverty level but still unable to afford necessities for where they live.
This long-term development program helps individuals and families shift out of survival mode. Grow your capability to thrive—financially, relationally, and spiritually.
Food Pantry
The food pantry at Love Your Neighbor serves the individuals and families participating in the Life Skills Program.
Group Therapy
Group therapy has proven to be incredibly effective, as it encourages community when many are struggling in isolation.
Love Your Neighbor Group Therapy curriculum has been developed by our staff, and classes will be led by social work interns from Love Your Neighbor and other local agencies and overseen by Love’s Director of Relationships.
Medical Help
Love Your Neighbor uses donated durable medical items to provide the community free access to medical equipment.
We also offer transportation to medical appointments to anyone who lives in Hudsonville, Jenison, and Grandville (the destination of the appointment must be within a 30-mile radius).
“I am very grateful and appreciative for all of the support and help that Love has given my child and me over the past year. I was not someone that liked to open up to others and mostly kept to myself and found it very hard to ask for help for anything. Love made me realize that I don’t need to carry the burdens all alone and there was no shame in asking for help. Everyone was very caring and supportive of me during my journey through all the classes and someone always available to talk to when I needed it for any reason.
They have helped restore my faith in God and ensured that I had the proper tools for taking control of my finances and knowledge of how to budget and about healthy and unhealthy relationships among other teachings. They also helped us with clothing and food and financially when we needed it most as well as a placement with a mentor to help guide me on my way to taking back control over my life and faith in God.”
