GayAnn Reynolds Story

Serving the Lord and serving the community – that’s what Love INC is all about!

I am a volunteer for Love INC and their mission to help people in our community in a way that honors God’s command to love and serve others.

When I retired in 2019, I looked for a volunteer opportunity where I could give back to Oxford. I am the volunteer bookkeeper and the Clothes Closet coordinator for Love INC.  As bookkeeper, I help ensure faithful stewardship of the generous donations we receive from individuals and businesses who believe and support the Love INC mission.  As the Clothes Closet coordinator, I make sure the Clothes Closet is a welcoming place for clients to shop for themselves and their families. It is a joy to help families, especially when they find exactly what they were looking for! The community has been extremely generous in donating clothes to fill our racks.

I have lived in Oxford for 18 years with my husband and three children. I am a member of Oxford Free Methodist Church. I grew up in a small farming community in mid-Michigan, and Oxford has the same small town, close-knit community values that make it such a special place.

Connection Center

Connection Center

Our Connection Center is looking for receptionists to answer phone calls that come in to Love INC. Or, for a deeper involvement, consider a more in-depth conversation as an intake worker. Both of these roles seek individuals who model Christ’s empathy, provide a listening ear and pray with those in need. We have openings for intake workers and receptionists Monday-Thursday 10:00am to 2:00pm. There are also temporary “fill in” shifts available if you are looking for something more flexible.

New Beginnings is our transformational ministry which is currently in development. If you’re interested in helping transform the lives of the people we assist, we’d love to have you join the team. Current areas of need are prayer, administrative and program development. Going forward we will be adding greeters, child-care workers, class facilitators, mentors and more.

We are looking for dependable individual volunteers or groups to help provide this much needed ministry to our neighbors.

Clothing Ministry Volunteer

Volunteers prayerfully put together care packages of clothing & toiletries that are tailored specifically to each individual’s need. They also sort incoming donations helping to keep our donation room neat and organized.
