In-Kind Donations
Donated items fuel Love INC ministries!
Your contribution of material items to Love INC will
help a needy local family or individual. A simple item makes a huge
difference in a struggling neighbor's life, and communicates the love of
Christ to them. Love INC, in turn, gives your donated item(s) to
needy households in Gallatin County.
In-kind donations are tax deductible to the extent
allowed by law.
Love INC accepts good used furniture and working,
running vehicles to place with qualified clients. Call the Love INC office
for more information. 587-3008
In addition, several Love INC ministries rely solely on
the donations of caring Christians. For information on donating to
these ministries, please check out the information below.
Thank you for sharing and caring!

Toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, dish soap,
laundry soap, dryer sheets, bar soap, liquid
hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, hair brush, comb, toothpaste
(children's and adults'), toothbrushes (children's and adults'), band-aids, men's deodorant, women's deodorant,

A donation of just one item helps an entire household!
Where to Bring a Donation:
Donations to the Personal Care Pantry may be brought
to the Love INC office or to Bozeman United Methodist Church. Call

Linen Closet
Items Needed:
Sheet sets, newer pillows, bath towels, hand towels,
washcloths, blankets, comforters, bedspreads, quilts, bathroom throw
rugs.
Note: all items need to be new or lightly used.
It is a huge help to the volunteers working in this ministry if used
items are washed and folded before being donated.
We cannot accept stained items nor items with holes,
rips or mildew.
In addition, the linen closet does not accept the
following items: drapes, curtains, shower curtains, decorator pillows,
large area rugs.
A donation of just one item makes a huge difference in
a hurting person's life, and usually ministers to the children of single
parents, too.
Where to Bring a Donation:
Donations to the Linen Closet should be brought to the
Love INC office. Call the Love INC office for details and
directions. 587-3008 or email loveincoffice@yahoo.com
Clothes Closet
ATTENTION: Do not "drop
off" clothing at the door when the Clothes Closet is closed.
The Closet, like all Love INC ministries, is operated by small volunteer
teams who come in for a couple of hours to serve others. They
absolutely cannot
handle the workload of processing bags of dropped off clothing during the
few hours that each team works. Please realize that the Clothes Closet
operates ONLY by volunteer teams, and as a result is open only a few times
each month -- it does not have the same hours as a retail store, nor does it
have any paid staff. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
(If you would like to volunteer to help expand our Clothes Closet hours,
please call the Love INC office.)
Items Needed:
Current, in-season clothing in new, excellent to very good
condition. All sizes. Men's, women's, teens, children's,
infants. Brand new children's underwear and socks are always
needed.
Note: It is a huge help to the volunteers working in
this ministry if used items are washed before being donated.
We cannot accept stained items nor items with holes,
rips or mildew. We cannot accept used undergarments.
The Clothes Closet restricts its items to
clothing. Therefore, we cannot use shoes, purses, accessories nor
household items.
A donation of just one item makes a huge difference in
a hurting person's life, and usually ministers to the children of single
parents, too. In 2008, the Clothes Closet served more than 2,600
of our neighbors in need! Thank you!
Where & When to Bring a Donation:
Donations to the Clothes Closet are accepted ONLY during
the hours when the closet is open. Please bring donations on any
Saturday afternoon. Or, the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each
month from 4-6pm. Please take donated items to the Clothes
Closet just west of the intersection of Main St. and Jackrabbit in
Belgrade (rust-colored building); go around to the back door.
Call the Love INC office for details and directions. 587-3008 and
follow the phone menu system to retrieve information about the Clothes
Closet.
Bicycle Ministry
Items Needed:
Working bikes for men, women and children. We
also can accept tricycles that are in good, working condition.
Note: We cannot accept a bike that has a bent frame or
wheel, or which will require more than $20 worth of parts to make it
usable.
A donation of a bike can make the difference between
having a job and unemployment. A bike can bring joy to a child's
life.
Where to Bring a Donation:
Donations to the Bicycle Ministry are initially taken
to a storage unit where they await inspection and any needed
repairs. Arrangements need to be made with the volunteer who
coordinates this ministry to meet you at the storage unit. If you
absolutely cannot deliver the bike, a volunteer may be able to pick it
up. Please call the Love INC office to make
arrangements. 587-3008 or email loveincoffice@yahoo.com
