Our mission is to acquire and distribute physical and financial resources, spiritual support and services to help meet the emergent needs of the hurting people in crisis.

We do this by being faithful stewards of donated resources and by being willing servants of Jesus Christ, showing His love to the hurting in our community.

HOW WE GET IT DONE

Our Nonprofit Organization

We rely heavily upon Love Bears All Volunteers and Donors to be able to meet the physical and financial needs of hurting folks. These are NEEDS, not WANTS.

Needs like an emergency furnace repair in sub-zero weather, or a simple emergency trip to the pharmacy when a car broke down. An elderly person who cannot get their own groceries anymore due to their declining health, or someone who needs to receive a call, visit or welfare check because they are living alone and conditions outside are harsh. It could be that we have a Client who needs our help getting their gutters cleaned because they are too old to get on a ladder, or it may be a young wife who has been beaten by her husband who suffers from mental issues who now needs help finding resources for her specific situation. A single mother who has had her door broken in and cannot afford to secure her own home for the night, or a disabled man who has had unexpected car trouble and cannot make his rent and still buy his medicine.

No matter the severity of the issue, these people have serious needs which they just cannot handle alone. These are actual examples of the types of help that we have provided real people. And there are real people who volunteer their time and generous people who donate resources to help meet these needs. We are a 100% volunteer run Christian charity – we depend on God and people who have caring and generous hearts to help us help others.

The Lord leads us to those in need and members of the Board of Directors of Love Bears All carefully vet and prioritize each need that comes our way. The word is put out to our Volunteers and Donors, and God sends to us the folks and the resources to help meet the need. We hope YOU are among them!

Volunteer Updates for 2023

We have had several Community Service Volunteers assist us this year to complete educational requirements and court-ordered hours. Each person enjoyed working with us and said they would like to continue volunteering for LBA.
We signed up with Benevity to make our charitable nonprofit opportunities accessible to Corporate employees who wish to donate time as volunteers, or to give donations from their paychecks to reputable nonprofits.
We registered with Vee in 2022, a service that posts volunteering opportunities to the public and provides nonprofits in need of volunteers with a web-based volunteer sign-up service.
We registered this year with Sign-up Genius to get additional posts of volunteering opportunities to the public and provide us with an additional web-based volunteer sign-up service.
We have increased our presence on Facebook and NextDoor to allow additional opportunities for people to sign up to volunteer.
We have reached out to several churches for help in volunteering.

Fundraising Efforts Results for 2023

We had many food events this year, including a Valentine’s Day Dinner & Dance, two Biscuits and Gravy Breakfasts, one Pancake Breakfast, and a Taco Tuesday. All were successful.
The LBA Yard Sale this summer was a success as well, helping to pay for the cost of our transportation ministry.
We had a few special fundraising events for individual needs and many of the fundraising goals for these individuals and families highlighted were either met or exceeded.
We have had a very successful showing so far for the Winter Weather Wear Drive – Producing more than 2 large van loads full of warm weather wear for the homeless, underprivileged and aged.
Our Lettie’s Lunches food program for the unhoused has received support to maintain its ministry and even grow (we now serve upwards of 330 people each week).
The LBA Food Bank has grown with two new shelving units for more canned and dried goods and two new freezers for more frozen meats and cheeses.
We also received 6,500 pairs of new socks for those in need on the streets of our community.

HOW CAN I HELP?

Our Need for YOU

We need a virtual army of volunteers and donors to do what we do.

Maybe you can help with a particular trade or specialty? Maybe you can sit with an elderly person for an hour every week to visit or read a book? Maybe you can provide good canned, dry or frozen food? Maybe you have some medical equipment to donate? Or, maybe you have the financial resources to be able to give regularly to this ministry?

Please, fill out the form below and let us know how you can help us help others.

Thank you.
