Personal Care Pantry News

In mid-October, several of the dedicated and very active church members who volunteer at the Love INC Personal Care Pantry met with staff at the Love INC office. Libby Cameron, Coordinator of the PCP, led the meeting.

Meetings like this are important for the ministry to stay attuned to the needs of clients and volunteers. They also help improve our operations. One of Love INC's core values is to strive for excellence. With good feedback and great ideas from those who do the ministry, the Personal Care Pantry continues to become better equipped to meet the huge volume of needs it faces each month and to work well for the volunteers who serve each week.

Even one of Love INC's youngest volunteers, infant daughter of PCP volunteer Liz Rowe attended the October meeting, along with her mom!

The PCP is stocked with donations from partner churches. In October, the PCP served 85 households in Gallatin County. That translates into a lot of product from the churches and individual donors to keep the pantry going!  

The PCP currently is low on shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, paper towels, dryer sheets, baby powder, children's toothpaste, and wide-toothed combs.  If you'd like to help a family in need, a donation of any of these items can be brought to the Love INC office.

Please pray for God to bless and guide the incredible PCP ministry workers, representing their churches on the front lines.
