LOVE BINS

Matthew 25:35-40 NIV 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Love is a Verb prepares the bins, which are filled with everyday essentials to be passed out to those who are homeless or living out of their car. It also includes uplifting Bible verses. These bins are made with material that can withstand the weather and other unfavorable conditions.

Love Bins are also provided to:

The Family Resource Connection at Dayton Children's
Miami Valley Housing Opportunities; Project Clean and Homeless Outreach

WELCOME HOME BLESSING BINS

Proverbs 24:3-4 NIV 3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; 4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

Love is a Verb will show the love of Christ by providing bins that are given to women and families who are coming out of homelessness, domestic violence situations, or treatment centers and moving into their own home. These bins include a prayer blessing for the home, a shower curtain, bathroom floor mats, soap and toothbrush holder, a set of pot holders, a dish set, and a small set of pots and pans.

JOURNEY WITH PRIDE

Matthew 18:5 NIV And whoever welcomes one such child in my name.

Love is a Verb will collect donations for new suitcases and donate them to Montgomery County Children Services, for children that are currently in or will enter into the foster care system. Every child deserves to travel their journey, with their belongings in a suitcase that they own and not a trash bag.
