Our Impact

There’s nothing more powerful than churches working together as the body of Christ.

Every year, Love INC of Cowlitz County connects its partner church volunteers to over 500 families in their community. Together, we are able to not only meet over 1,000 needs, but meet each person where they’re at. Caring for them holistically, our neighbors are met with dignity and respect, while our partner churches are free to focus on serving according to their strengths. The result? Transformed lives. Transformed churches. And transformed communities.

What our clients are saying about Love INC.

Every story represents a life touched, a need met, and a reminder of what can happen when a community comes together. From providing furniture and essential household items to helping with transportation, medical equipment, and home accessibility, Love INC of Cowlitz County is committed to walking alongside individuals and families during difficult times.

These heartfelt messages from those we’ve served remind us that our work goes beyond meeting physical needs. It’s about restoring hope, showing compassion, and reminding our neighbors that they are not alone. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our community, churches, and dedicated volunteers.

KJ#2
#3 "I was working on myself, staying in (transitional housing) and job searching without a car. Love INC got me a bike and on a budget, when I bought the car I gave the bike back. I rode that bike every day for more than nine months, I like that it's helping someone else now."
RM#3
#4 "Love INC is so nice, the volunteers there gave us a free oil change. My case manager signed us up when my husband's condition got worse. They noticed a significant oil leak, it cost a bit to fix but it would've cost us much more for a new car! I appreciate their help."
JB#4
#5 "As my condition got worse I felt weaker than I've ever felt, I was having trouble making it up my stairs. I thought I was going to have to move. But Love INC built me a beautiful ramp, and I can use my walker or a wheelchair. God is so good."
KT#5
#6 "My insurance was taking forever, and never gave us anything but promises to this day. But Love INC was able to get us a commode, raised toilet seat, and bed rails the day after we called for help. I can't say how relieved I was to be helped after waiting so long."
RL#6
#7 "After our case manager visited our place, she said we needed bed frames and boxes for my kids. Love INC showed up the next day and they were so nice. One of them invited my kids to youth group And they've been going every week since."

#8 "Love INC is great! I'm a caregiver and I have come up for help with half a dozen clients and I've never been turned away. They can be a lifesaver."
TL#8
#9 "Our son has (a genetic disease) and as he's grown it's been more difficult getting him into our home. When Love INC said they could build us a ramp that wouldn't cost us anything I almost cried. We get to stay here, and our son is doing great!"
GP#9
#10 "I just wanna say thank you to the volunteers at Love INC who brought me furniture. I had been in my place for over a week with empty rooms and sleeping on an air mattress. You guys really helped make this a home! I just wanted to say thanks."
SC#10
#11 "Love INC helped us so much when my ex moved out of state, I didn't know how I was gonna get everything I needed for my son who wasn't used to living with me at the time. But Love INC brought all the furniture he needed and even gave my daughter a closet organizer. I'm willing to help Love INC any time."
#11
#12 "When my husband was out of work last year we didn't know who to ask for help. We were forced to move, the bills were pilling up, the kids almost had to change schools. Love INC helped us move everything we owned, gave us more furniture, they have us a lawnmower, helped us get started on a budgeting class. I couldn't believe it. When I asked why, they just told me that Jesus loved me and asked how we were handling it. My husband never said it but he has more respect for Love INC than any other charity."
AC#12
#13 "When I reached out for help with a water bill Love INC helped me pay it, everyone was so nice there anytime I called. But they offered us a budgeting class membership, and that has made a world of difference. I can't believe we didn't have an emergency fund. As soon as we're out of debt, you can count on our support every month."
MT#13
#14 "When my wife got sick our budget was stretched tight, I didn't know how we were gonna make it some months. When our washing machine broke, it broke me. I lost it for a few days. My pastor told me to call Love INC, they had another washer installed by the end of the week. I was floored, I couldn't believe it, I kept waiting for someone to hand me a bill or tell me to pay for it when I could. But instead they just offered to pray with me."
AJ#14
#15 "When I moved back to Longview I didn't have anything. Just the promise of a job and the chance to see my kids. Love INC gave me all the furniture I needed for that first apartment, absolutely everything. I give back whenever I can, I appreciate them so much."
SB#15
#16 "I moved to Kelso to help take care of my sisters kids when her husband left them. I rolled into town with a uhaul full of stuff and nobody showed up to help unload it! My sister knew what to do and called Love INC, the next day my new house was situated and I was so relieved. They wouldn't take my money either, the volunteers just showed me how I could make a donation if I wanted."
GH#16
#17 "I have struggled with a number of medical conditions for most all of my life, we decided that it was best if I tried to live my myself for a while. My disability payments could barely cover my bills, I didn't think about how I was gonna get furniture. But Love INC outfitted my apartment pretty completely. I still have every piece they gave me."
SD#17
#18 "Back in 2017 I was getting out of treatment for the second time. It felt like nobody wanted me to succeed, no one wanted to give me a chance. I needed to look for a job and my case manager told me I could get a Bike through Love Inc. I didn't want to ask for a ride to work every day, so I applied. They showed up with a free bike lock and helmet in about a week. I still have that bike, I'll take it out when my son wants to ride bikes around the lake. It reminds me that there's always another chance."
RG#18
#19 "After two close calls and a couple of bruises I admitted I needed a bit of help. My caregiver said that she had a client get handles installed in their shower to hold to. I called Love INC and said I didn't think I could pay for their service. They said there was no charge for their help and had it done just like that. I use them all the time, what a great thing to help with."
