1. Receive request
for help.
Requests for help are received in the
Love INC Clearinghouse either directly from a person in need or when a person is
referred to
Love INC by a local agency or church.
2. Assess the need.
Trained Love INC volunteers or staff
screens the
request to determine legitimacy and
extent of the need, and to
discover any deeper issues fueling the
crisis. Love INC determines
what help the client has already
received from agencies or churches,
and ensures the need is manageable and
specific.
3. Refer to help.
Love INC connects the need to the most
appropriate church ministry, church volunteer, and/or local agency and the need
is met.
4. Engage the client.
We follow up with each client that calls regardless of whether we directly
helped or referred the client to a suitable resource.
This allows our team to
stay engaged with clients in need and walk beside them during stressful times.
Helping and guiding each towards solutions for immediate needs as well as longer term issues.
