The local Love INC Clearinghouse or call center is the foundation of the Love INC ministry. It is also the first opportunity where we begin connecting churches relationally with neighbors in need. The Clearinghouse receives requests for help, screens the requests, verifies the need, and then refers the request to a local church ministry, church volunteer, or community agency. After the initial assistance, the Clearinghouse follows up to ensure the need was met and to offer continued support in the form of workshops, prayer, additional referrals, and potentially even one-to-one coaching.
