The Lovewell is a membership-based resource center for the materially poor and unhoused.
Come Volunteer!The Lovewell Center is a membership based resource center that gives members the opportunity to earn the physical resources they need by attending classes and programs designed to help them move out of poverty and homelessness and into a restored life. Earned credits can be used in The Lovewell stores:
The Smellwell (laundry)
The Dresswell (clothing)
The Eatwell (food)
When you volunteer—whether you’re folding clothes, restocking shelves, or serving a meal—you’re not just meeting a need. You’re building connection. Reminding someone that they matter. And becoming part of their story of restoration.
Anyone is welcome to join the club!
Members attend classes, help around the building, or bring in a pay stub from their job—these activities add points to their Lovewell account. Classes include everything from bible studies to job skills classes.
Shop in our exclusive members-only stores. Members are allowed to buy what they need. No handouts. They earned it!
Everything at The Lovewell is designed to help members grow—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They are not just getting resources, they’re building a restored life!
1) Membership communicates belonging
2) Participation & Earning communicates value
3) The power of choice communicates freedom
Story / The Impact Of Food
The Lovewell VIP Club is a support program for individuals who have moved out of homelessness into stable housing and desire to work towards personal growth and goal achievement! Through community and accountability, individuals have the opportunity to heal, learn, and grow in a Biblically-based, trauma-informed environment as they take steps towards a restored life.
Every minute the Lovewell Center doors are open is a chance to show up, serve, and love people in our city. Whether it’s one of these scheduled opportunities or a random Tuesday afternoon—there’s always something to do and someone to love. Here’s a list of ways you can jump in, but just know… if the building’s open, we need you. Come on!
Each week, we receive new donations that we sort through one by one to examine quality and usability. By signing up for Sortwell, you will be volunteering by help us sort, organize, and restock donations for The Lovewell Stores!
Every Wednesday morning, we open up early to cook a hot meals for our Lovewell Members! We have spots available for individuals, families, and small groups to help us cook and serve the breakfast and hang out with members.
At Community Meal, we ask our “volunteers” to come hungry so they can eat with us! We slow our pace and worry about putting tin foil on the leftovers later so we can spend more time together. You will help us prep plates, play bingo with members, and help clean up. This opportunity is great for families of all sizes/ages, as well as groups. You can also sign up to provide the meal if you’re interested!
As a VIP Club Ally, you would be offering a VIP Member one-on-one friendship, spiritual guidance, discipleship, and encouragement to connect with a healthy Church community during their time in the VIP Club, a support network for Lovewell Members who have moved out of homelessness into stable housing!
As a Lovewell Teacher, you would be committing to one hour a weekday afternoon to teach at a class. This is a great opportunity for people who are willing to donate consistent time to help build a deeper fellowship with Lovewell Members and community.
Equip Training is an online training that explains what we do, why we do it, and how you can get involved with us! This training is very in-depth and once you’ve completed it, you will be able to serve in more committed opportunities in Lovewell and Purchased like teaching or mentoring. However, if you just want to learn more about The Hub, this training is also for you!
