What is Love INC
Love INC was founded in 1977 as a way to encourage churches to become more engaged with the poor and to inspire a greater number of Christians to put their faith in action.
Love INC’s founder, Dr. Virgil Gulker, was a social worker and outreach director in Holland, Michigan, in the late 1970s. Deeply committed to helping people trapped in poverty, he was certain God had called others to the same mission. As he talked to church members and pastors, Dr. Gulker came to understand that Christians did indeed want to help the needy, but they had few ideas about how to do so.
Love INC of Otero County was established through a vision of the Alamogordo Area Ministerial Alliance. It was through a unity of this body of believers that Love INC was formed. Love INC of Otero County currently has over 25 dedicated volunteers that come together every week to reach out to those less fortunate. These individuals have answered the call to serve and believe that this is where God has placed them.
Under the leadership of our Executive Director and with the support of our volunteers, our National headquarters and our local board of directors, Love INC of Otero County has met the needs of over 8000 families. This affects an average of over 32,000 individuals since its grand opening in December of 2009.
We give all Glory to God for His mercy and grace as we continue our mission to reach out to those in need, In the Name of Christ.
Love INC takes no government funds and relies strictly on the generosity of our churches, businesses, civic organizations and individual community members to help fund this ministry.
