Our Impact

There’s nothing more powerful than churches working together as the body of Christ.

Every year, Love INC of Greater Holmes County connects its partner church volunteers to over 500 families in their community. Together, we are able to not only meet over 1,000 needs, but meet each person where they’re at. Caring for them holistically, our neighbors are met with dignity and respect, while our partner churches are free to focus on serving according to their strengths. The result? Transformed lives. Transformed churches. And transformed communities.

We are closed

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with sincere gratitude. Thank you for your dedication and relentless efforts this year. Love INC of Greater Hillsboro will be closed for Christmas break beginning December 18, 2023.  We will return to the office January 2, 2024.
