Back-to-School Bash - This is a great day where we reach out to the community with lots of fun, food and school supplies. Love INC and other churches in the community collect school supplies and we pass them out to families in need while we have fun with a hot dog lunch, inflatables, face painting, snow cones, volleyball, games and lots more. This event takes place at the end of August. Watch for more details.
 

Christmas Holiday Season:

Samaritans Purse

Women's Ministries will again be partnering with Samaritans Purse and Operation Christmas Child for the shoebox collection.  Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love. This program of Samaritan’s Purse provides an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ, God’s greatest gift. Along with shoe box gifts, millions of children are given Gospel booklets in their own language. In 2004, they collected over 7 million shoe box gifts worldwide and distributed them to children in 95 countries.

We will be bringing in empty plastic shoebox size bins and asking everyone to fill it with items according to age and boy or girl and Samaritans Purse distributes the boxes. Look for future information coming!

Adopt-A-Family
 
The holiday season is especially tough for many folks, even many folks in our very own city.

This program provides food and gifts to dozens of individuals and families at Christmas.  This is a special opportunity for all of us who have been blessed with prosperity to make a difference in someone else's life. Just imaging what it would mean to a parent who could not afford Christmas gifts to be able to give their child a gift because of your generosity.

How does it work?

Various businesses in our community collect toys and deliver them to the host church, which is Delano Assembly of God. Many churches, businesses and individuals work together to make this annual event very special and successful.

Approximately 3 months before Christmas, Love INC interviews hundreds of families and matches them up with a volunteer family. The entire process is completely confidential.

No contact information is ever shared between the adopted family and the adoptee. However the adopting family will receive a card that represents the family you've been assigned. The card will detail the number of children, their ages and sex, and a few suggestions on their needs and desires, along with a family "code" number.

Once you receive the card, all you do is go shopping for the family, wrap the gifts, and bring them to church. There the main coordinator will arrange to have them picked up and delivered to your adopted family in time for Christmas.
