Summary
Danielle Bolt, executive director of Love, Inc., told the commission the faith-based nonprofit works with 13 partner churches, had 34 program graduates this spring and plans a one-on-one mentoring program this September.
Danielle Bolt, executive director of Love, Inc., told the Kentwood City Commission on April 17 that the local faith-based nonprofit mobilizes area churches to connect volunteers with residents who need help and that the group had 34 program graduates this spring.
"The mission is to mobilize local churches," Bolt said, adding that Love, Inc. now partners with 13 churches in the Kentwood and Wyoming area. She told commissioners the organization offers classes such as faith and finances, boundaries and overcoming anxiety and is launching a one-on-one mentoring program in September.
Bolt said Love, Inc. has 17 regular volunteers from 10 different churches participating in its work. Commissioner Tyson thanked Bolt and the organization for its service; no formal action was taken by the commission on the presentation.
Bolt's presentation was given during the invocation and introductory portion of the meeting, and commissioners invited residents who want to volunteer to follow up with the organization directly.
