2017 Annual Executive Director Report PARTNERSHIP ...

2017 Annual Executive Director Report In 2016, after the move of Village Thrift to a new location, the Love INC ministry office relocated to the same address. We now have twice the space and all of the facility costs are covered by Village Thrift, saving the ministry over $30,000 per year and significantly growing our capacity! We also launched two new ministries. The first, Love Brevard, is a gathering of pastors in Brevard that pray together each month. Love Brevard is facilitated by Love INC and culminated with a county-wide month of service in March, 2017.

The Second, Gifts from the Heart Christmas Shop, is a partnership with Brevard Neighborhood Development Coalition and Club Esteem. This Christmas Shop, hosted at Village Thrift in early December, allowed parents of each of the three organizations to purchase donated gifts for their children at reduced cost. We continued serving Brevard through Restore Trainings, National Day of Prayer events and our Annual Pastor Appreciation and Awards Lunch in November. Below are key metrics for the ministry impact this year.
