Our Programs

Have a need? Call Love INC.

When you call in to set up an appointment at our College Street location, the first voice you’ll hear is a caring, well-equipped volunteer from one of our partner churches. This volunteer will take the time to listen with compassion—not only asking about your immediate need but also exploring the broader context of your situation.

At your intake appointment, our volunteers will sit down with you to better understand your unique story, needs, and goals. We take a relational approach, focusing on how we can best assist you through our programs, resources, and partnerships. This time together allows us to connect you with the most appropriate services and ongoing support that align with your personal journey.

At Love INC, everything we do revolves around relationships. We’re not just here to meet needs; we’re here to meet you where you are and help you realize your God-given potential. Here are just a few ways we make that happen in our community.

Clearinghouse

The Clearinghouse works closely with 23 churches to provide essential services, known as GAP Ministries, that meet needs otherwise unmet in the community. These services include clothing, non-food pantry items, bikes, linens, showers, firewood, and kitchen items and many more. Our regular volunteers are the heart of the Clearinghouse, listening to people’s stories, providing practical assistance, offering financial guidance, and praying with clients, resulting in life-changing moments of peace and support. 

Hesed House

The Hesed House, our Women’s Transitional Living Program, is a Christ-Centered program that aims to empower women to gain self-sufficiency and life transformation. We offer Bible Studies, Relational Ministry Classes, Christian Mentors, Christian Counselors, and Case Management Services. If you or someone you know is in need of these services please give us a call at: 503-537-3999

Transformational Classes

Transformational classes offer learning opportunities around an array of topics, from Bible studies to budgeting. These classes allow Love INC families to engage with a facilitator and other class members in order to grow mentally and spiritually.

Gap Ministries

Love In the Name of Christ mobilizes churches to meet the needs of people in our community. So when we discover an unmet need in the community, we find a way to help churches meet that need. One way that Love INC Newberg helps churches help people is through Gap Ministries. The purpose of a Gap Ministry is to provide a resource or service to meet ongoing needs that are not currently being met by agencies, government, or churches. Love INC helps churches “fill in the gap.” Because the Love INC Clearinghouse secures current and relevant information on the unmet needs, Love INC can provide valuable insights on new ways churches can meet those needs and have a deeper impact in the lives of people and the community.
 
As gaps in community services are identified through the Clearinghouse process, a list is compiled and can be shared regularly with churches, pastors, and volunteers. Love INC encourages churches to respond and assists churches in developing an individual church ministry, joint church ministry, or collaborative ministry (all church partners) to fill the gap in services. Gap Ministries are most often staffed by volunteers and only meet needs referred by the Clearinghouse. Our current gaps include: Bikes, Children’s Clothing, Haircut, Linens, Loads of Hope, Lucky Finds Thrift Store, Narcan, Non Food Pantry, Personal Care Kits, Restore Gift Certificate, Services outside the Normal, Vision Services, Water, Welcome Bags, Wood and many more! For more information on our services, please call: 503-537-3999

Prayer Requests

Prayer is an integral part of who we are. Before we start our day, our meetings, or answer any phone calls… we pray. This gives God the opportunity to guide us on what He wants us to do. And we’re never disappointed.​​​ Would you like someone to pray for or with you? Give us a call at 503.537.3999 or submit your prayer request here.
