Mid-Hudson Love In the Name of Christ opened its doors (and phone lines) in March of 2009! Thanks to YOU and YOUR CHURCHES, many neighbors of all ages have been connected to the loving Body of Christ - many neighbors have been blessed, and many Christians have found a way to use their gifts in service and live out their faith.

LINK TO REPORT:https://www.mid-hudsonloveinc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Annual-Report-March-2024.pdf

2023 was yet another challenging year, but through the perseverance and dedication of our staff, volunteers and church partnerships, we were able to achieve success in programs and initiatives across the ministry. We are proud to highlight these achievements in our report and their impact to the neighbors we serve.

In 2024, we will continue to collaborate with local churches to serve those in need and together we will continue to transform lives in our community.

Mid-Hudson Love INC is pleased to announce the hiring of Dr. Linda Haas Manley in the new part-time position of Outreach and Development Coordinator. Linda will lead a new initiative to make Love INC more widely known across the community and thereby increase engagement and support.

Linda brings a passion for serving others, an upbeat outlook, and diverse work and life experience to the position. In addition to serving as Co-Chair of the Social Ministry Team at St. John’s Lutheran Church and former Board Member for Love In the Name of Christ, Linda has spent more than 30 years in higher education, coordinated programs and fundraisers for many different organizations, and currently serves as the Workforce Pathways Coordinator at Dutchess Community College. Linda is a strong communicator, avid collaborator, and community-minded advocate.

Linda commented, “Love INC’s mission to build relationships, restore hope, and transform lives inspires me to show redemptive compassion to my neighbors. I believe that this work is God’s call for me.” Love INC is delighted to see how God will use Linda and her team in building a robust outreach campaign to help the community understand the impact of this ministry that naturally leads to more engaged volunteers and donors.

Welcome Linda to this new Outreach Ministry!
