Recently we received word that Russ, one of our longtime volunteers, had passed away. Russ was part of the original furniture team at Love INC. Through the years he helped deliver far more than furniture. He delivered dignity, compassion, and care to neighbors in need. His wife Marge has faithfully served for many years as well, volunteering through GAP ministries and at The Grace Place. Together they have left a tremendous legacy of service, generosity, and faithfulness within our Love INC family.

When Russ passed away, Marge asked that memorial gifts be directed to Love INC because, in her words, this ministry was truly his heart.

Their story reminds us that the impact of serving doesn’t end when someone steps away. The love and faithfulness poured into others continues through the lives touched along the way. We are deeply grateful for Russ and Marge and the beautiful legacy they have left within this ministry.

This is one of our Mission in Motion moments — a glimpse of how God works through faithful servants over many years.
