Love INC. of Eastern Carver County
Love INC of Eastern Carver County works hard at nurturing relationships with churches, school districts, government agencies and other service organizations to identify unmet needs that emerge in the community. We help the 25 local churches in our network build ministries to respond – to fill these gaps in local services so that neighbors get the help they need. We also serve with our community agencies and charities by accepting referrals from them of people who need help. When these organizations cannot provide assistance inside the scope of their resources, mandates and protocols neighbors in need get referred to Love INC’s network of churches. As well, when Love INC network churches cannot meet a person’s needs, we will refer them to other service agencies. For more information, please contact Love INC at info@loveincecc.org or (952) 448-2508.
