Gap Ministries

Through our Gap Ministries, Love INC Mid-Hudson helps churches build ministries to fill service gaps by identifying unmet needs in the community. From furniture and linens to personal care items, we help churches organize services and products to meet real needs without duplicating existing resources. Yet what is offered is much more than products and services. Our relational approach ensures that each person is seen as an individual and offered prayer, encouragement, and ongoing connection.

Personal Care Items Ministry

The Personal Care Items Ministry helps individuals and families access essential household and hygiene products that cannot be purchased with SNAP (food stamp) benefits. Donations are collected through our partner churches, sorted and packed at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Fishkill, and delivered by dedicated volunteers.

Each care package is thoughtfully assembled to meet the specific needs of the individual or family receiving assistance, helping to restore dignity and provide practical support during challenging times.
