The holidays can be a very busy time of the year as people race to complete their Christmas shopping and ‘to do? lists before Dec. 25.
For North Oakland County’s Love In the Name of Christ, the holidays bring higher demands for services. The ministry is asking for donations to better equip it to serve the area’s underprivileged.
According to Executive Director Sandy Weaver, Love INC is receiving nearly 40 calls daily for assistance with rent, utilities, food, clothing, furniture, automobile repair, and home repairs. With Michigan’s increasing unemployment rates, the need escalates.
The director said the ministry answered more than 440 requests during November alone.
Currently, Love INC needs financial assistance for operational expenses including rent, telephone, insurance, mailing and payroll for two part-time employees.
‘The donations for operational expenses have fallen drastically, and it would be helpful if [people] would consider making a special donation to [Love INC’s] cause,? Weaver said.
Love INC is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. Checks can be mailed to:
