Q How does one let Love INC know if resources are needed?
A If the client’s mentor is made aware of and agrees with the client’s need, the mentor must call the LOVE INC office to discuss the need and authorize it with the office.
Q What if one decides to drop out of the Loving Help Budget Program?
A Everyone is free to make his/her own choices. However, it must be understood that the client is responsible for the consequences for his/her own decisions.
One of the consequences of dropping out of the program is that the client will no longer be able to use the LOVE INC resources, nor will the budget advisor be responsible for maintaining contact with the client. The client’s file will be marked “closed” and no further assistance will be made available to that client unless he/she makes contact with LOVE INC and a re-evaluation is done.
through a supporting network of Christian churches. Some of the typical resources which may be available to the client who is faithful in this program may include:
· Food pantry
· Gas certificates
· Meat voucher
· Prayer support
· Haircuts
· Oil changes
· Baby Layette package
· Access to Gift Closet
· Personal items
· Free childcare
Q When will I be allowed to use these resources?
A A client must comply with the guidelines of the budget counseling program. The resources are made available through vouchers earned by attendance at the Budget Counseling Program and through ongoing cooperation with one’s budget advisor. LOVE INC is a clearinghouse and referral organization. The churches depend on us to make sure their resources are made available only to those who are sincerely interested in committing to a plan of positive action. We cannot reward destructive, negative habits with these precious resources.
We are responsible to God and our supporting Christians for being good stewards of the resources they provide our community through LOVE INC and we do not take that responsibility lightly.
