Being With Our Community

Being "With" Our Community

Love INC of Greater Hillsboro had several opportunities during the first quarter of 2024 to be with our community in various ways.

January

Mission Connexion Northwest was January 19 at Sunset Church. Love INC of Greater Hillsboro shared an information booth with Love INC of Clackamas County. Executive directors Jolene Snow and Stuart Smith worked with each other to represent Love INC.

February

In February we honored our volunteers with an appreciation breakfast at Hillsboro First Baptist. Board member Mike Ware and his crew served a great breakfast.

Several partner churches extended invitations for Love INC to visit for special occasions. Jeff Snyder, Clearinghouse Coordinator, and Ginger Hollis, volunteer Restoring Hope Coordinator, joined Laurel Community Church for their Young at Heart luncheon. Jeff and Ginger were able to share with the group and answer questions. At Harvest Community Church’s Mission Sunday, Jolene Snow was available to answer questions at an information table (photo at the right).

On February 23, Love INC again participated in Washington County’s Project Homeless Connect event. Love INC staff and volunteers manned an information table as well as distributed “helpful items” (our designation at the event) such as hats and socks.

March

Love INC was invited again this year to join the ministry fair at the “Ignite” Women’s Conference on Saturday, March 9 at Village Church in Beaverton. Executive Director Jolene Snow represented Love INC of Greater Hillsboro. This conference was attended by 450+ women from across the Portland Metro area.

We always appreciate the opportunity to visit and worship with partner churches. In March, Love INC was invited to join Laurel Community Church for their Mission Sunday. Jolene and Debbie were available at the information table to answer any questions. At Trinity Lutheran Church, Jolene and Board President Lila Young answered questions at the information table in the lobby.
