Helping Churches
Help People

The local church is God’s answer to community brokenness and a part of his plan of redemption and restoration. That’s why we mobilize local churches to offer a holistic approach to caring for people in all areas of life: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.

Love INC of Greater Merced serves the communities of Merced, Atwater, Planada, Winton & Le Grand.

Within these communities we have 36 church partners that provide resources to people in need and volunteer assistance. We work as a liaison among individuals, agencies, organizations, and churches who desire to reach out and serve those in need.

Together, we come alongside those individuals and families who have multiple needs, but desire to break free from the cycle of poverty.

We believe there's nothing more powerful than churches working together to transform lives and communities.

That's why our collaborative model mobilizes churches to serve those in need in holistic, relational ways.

Services Love INC coordinates

Through the generous donations of our community, Love INC offers people in need or transition, resources that help bridge some of the most difficult circumstances in their lives. Through Love INC, volunteers and churches unite to help meet some of those needs.
