About Us
The History of the Loveland Inter-Faith Effort
L.I.F.E. was organized in 1999 by a group of individuals supported by area churches, and the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department as a food pantry to serve clients in the Loveland School District. The organization obtained 501(c)3 status and is now supported by 9 area churches, the Loveland Schools, area businesses, and the community at large.
Our main focus continues to be the Food Pantry. On average, 115 families, totaling 350 family members visit the pantry each month. Eligibility for our programs is based on Federal guidelines using an income to family size ratio. Most of our pantry items come from individual contributions and local foods drives. In an effort to target what is needed at the pantry, a weekly e-mail is sent to over 130 community individuals and several churches. To sign up to receive the weekly e-mail, contact us at lifefoodpantry@yahoo.com
LIFE continues to expand programs to fit the needs of our client base. For more information on the services LIFE offers, see the Programs page.
