The need is reviewed and analyzed by Love INC staff at our office. Working cooperatively with area agencies, Love INC:

• Examines the nature, extent, and legitimacy of the client's need;

• Determines what help the client has already received from agencies or churches; and

• Ensures the need is manageable and specific.

After the client need(s) is analyzed and verified, the need is referred to the appropriate help:

• Clients requiring urgent or highly specialized help are referred to the appropriate agencies;

• Clients requiring help available through our agency or church ministry are referred to the agency or church; and

• Clients with other needs are referred to volunteers from partner churches in the area where the client lives (if possible).
