Love INC's Empty Bowls were filled with good things! article
Love INC is grateful to the over 300 attendees, volunteers and generous donors that supported the 2012 Empty Bowl Fundraising Event on Thursday, October 4, at Pinehurst Country Club in southwest Denver. Attendees selected handmade bowls, both of pottery and wood. Talented local artists who value the work of Love INC of Littleton donated the bowls. The pottery instructor from Southridge Recreation Center, Sally O’Brien Burns, was on hand with her pottery wheel demonstrating the throwing process and answering questions about her craft. The gifted pianist from First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, Susan Cicirello, contributed her time filling the night with amazing classical music. Over 150 donated silent auction items tempted visitors to shop and contribute. Not only was the silent auction tempting; a live auction led by 9News Sports anchor, Susie Wargin, appealed to attendees with exciting excursions such as a fly fishing day trip and an Italian condominium getaway. More than $30,000 was raised.
The revenue raised will be directed into vital services that help underprivileged people find transportation, personal hygiene items, food, clothing, furniture and financial counseling. Love INC of Littleton mobilizes volunteers and resources from 40 community churches to furnish year round services to families in need.

Clearinghouse Open! Call 303-794-LOVE
Love INC of Littleton has opened our clearinghouse, taking calls from 9:00 - 11:45 am Monday through Thursday each week. We are staffed with caring and compassionate phone intake workers. When a call is placed, one of these volunteers will listen, take information, and pray with the individual calling and determine the requirements of the individual or family. Shortly thereafter, the Clearinghouse Supervisor begins the work of verifying the need, aligning church and agency resources to assist and meet that need and eventually following up. Afternoons will be spent matching resources with clients. Messages will be returned the next day the clearinghouse is open.
Our task is to mobilize the church and to partner with area agencies to meet the needs of people in the community. With Christ as our example, callers will be welcomed, nurtured, loved and supported by church members, church ministries, and community agencies teaming together to give them a hand up and the help needed to get them back on their feet.
