Love In The Name Of Christ Of Northwest Allegan County

LIFE skills program provides meaningful, long-term relational help through the Learning in Finances and Everyday skills. The class meets weekly throughout the year for both classroom time and individual mentoring. By attending classes and meeting goals, the participants earn vouchers for access to pantry resources. Long-term goals are achieved through relationships that provide encouragement, financial guidance and accountability. This program served 61 adults, 74 children from 51 families during 2024.

The idea for Homes of Hope started in 2023 as a program to get families into stable housing that they can own. Funds have been raised to purchase mobile homes which have been rehabilitated by volunteers. In 2024, 6 families were blessed with a home and volunteer mentors to assist them in their home ownership. Professional volunteers provided $8,000 of plumbing, electrical and carpentry services in 2024.
