Carvajal brings to the role a wealth of various experience, including effective leadership, business management and transformational ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The focus on listening, prayer, and follow-up reflects a truly compassionate and relational approach to helping others,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m especially inspired by how Love INC identifies gaps in community services and mobilizes churches to fill them. It’s proactive, impactful and rooted in faith. With my background in nonprofit leadership and passion for empowering people through collaboration, I see a powerful opportunity to grow these ministries and support life-changing transformation in our community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are very excited Anita has agreed to join the ministry of Love INC, said Board Chair and head of the search committee Andy McMahon. \u201cI believe her skill set will grow the organization beyond the foundation that has already been strongly established. The board unanimously supports her and feels she has the vision to expand this ministry to build more partnerships to meet even more needs in the community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest weeks of the year for Love INC, Ignite 2025, is just around the corner (July 16-19), hosted by St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Ignite is a three day local missions trip where church volunteers complete home repair and service projects for neighbors in need. This program is coordinated by Love INC and all skill levels are welcome to attend. This will be an excellent opportunity for volunteers and the community to meet the new executive director while lending a helping hand. Information about Ignite can be found online at www.communityrelief.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
