An awesome donation

Love In Action received an awesome donation on Saturday, June 13, 2009. Kaufman's Army Surplus in Dothan, Ala., donated a large amount of supplies to LIA that will be used to help the homeless throughout the nation. Here are some of the items donated:
- 1,961 pairs of boots
- 2 pallets of shirts
-5 pallets of pants
- 1 pallet of overalls
- 1,512 pars of boxer underwear
- 3 pallets of winter coats
- 1 pallet of wool gloves
14 boxes of shoes
- 1 pallet of inflatable mattresses
- 8 boxes of disposable footwear
- 5 boxes of winter wool socks
- a bunch of miscellaneous items

All of those items will be tremendous blessings to the homeless throughout the nation. All of us at LIA want to say a great big "Thank You" to Mary at Kaufman's Army Surplus for this awesome donation. Nine LIA volunteers spent the entire day on Saturday loading the items at Kaufman's warehouse and unloading them at LIA's warehouse. Five of those volunteers were all homeless in Dothan earlier this year, but are no longer homeless. They were more than happy to help the ministry that has helped them so much. It was a great day.

A huge blessing from Wal-Mart


The Wal-Mart Foundation made a contribution of $10,000 to Love In Action on May 30.
Pictured are (standing, left to right): Wal-Mart representatives: Terry Wallace (grocery), Monica
Salinas (electronics), Carolyn Broadwater (market assistant), Jesse Deal (automotive/garden), Ricky
Ernest (clothing/fashion), and LIA Board Member Susie Tuck. Kneeling, left to right: LIA President Ken
Tuck, LIA Vice President Martha Tuck, Wal-Mart Market 74 Manager Greg Livingston, LIA Board Member
Justin Swasey, and LIA Board Member Mike Shroades.

Love In Action received its largest donation ever on May 30, 2009, when leaders from Wal-Mart's Dothan Market's top managers presented the ministry with a check from the Wal-Mart Foundation for $10,000. Yes, $10,000! When Market 74 Manager Greg Livingston presented the check, tears filled the eyes of LIA President Ken Tuck, LIA Vice President Martha Tuck and LIA Board Member Susie Tuck. The check will enable the ministry to do the work at the warehouse that needs accomplishing to strengthen its outreach to the homeless in Dothan, Ala. All of the Wal-Mart managers were very interested in what we do to help the homeless. In addition to the incredible donation, the managers talked about other ways they may be able to help LIA. Ken and Martha Tuck and all of the LIA board members thank Wal-Mart for their awesome donation and concern about helping the homeless. Now we can move forward with building the restrooms and showers at the warehouse. We are also hoping to be able to begin on the kitchen as well. These are indeed exciting times for Love In Action.

Cookout for the Homeless

Love In Action hosted a cookout for the homeless at its warehouse in Dothan, Ala., on May 30, 2009. The ministry was joined by several organizations in Dothan that provides assistance for the homeless and poor. All of these organizations are part of the Dothan Homeless Coalition. The Coalition have held several cookouts for the homeless to show the homeless that there is help available for them. This was the first time Love In Action has served food at its warehouse. About 50 plates of grilled chicken, baked beans, chips and homemade pound cake were served. The homeless and men from the Houston County Community Corrections Work Release enjoyed food and fellowship. A number of them also picked out clothes from the clothing racks in the warehouse. Hygiene packets were also handed out. It was a great day. LIA thanks Bill Dorminy and Goldfinger restaurant in Dothan for donating the chicken, women from Southside Baptist Church in Ozark for the pound cakes, and everyone from the Dothan Homeless Coalition who made it such a successful day.

Helping in Africa
Love In Action is helping to provide supplies for hospitals in Africa. Our close friend and ministry partner in Atlanta, Ga., Pastor Larry Arnold of Eagle's Nest Ministry, traveled twice to Africa in 2008 (Sudan and Uganda), and will be going back in the fall of 2009. The hospitals have very little to work with. They don't even have the basic medical supplies that most of us in the US can purchase over-the-counter at stores. We are collecting supplies to send to Africa with Pastor Larry this spring.
Here is a list of suggested donations:
Peroxide, bandages, baby aspirin, Tylenol (tablets and liquid), cotton swabs, gauze, diapers and baby wipes.

If you can help, please send medical supplies to:
Love In Action International Ministries, P.O. Box 85, Dothan, AL 36302.
If you live in the Dothan, Ala., area, you can bring your supplies to our warehouse at 1140 Montgomery Hwy. in Dothan (next to the Piggly Wiggly). Call 334-494-4995 before going to the warehouse.

Watch the video below of Pastor Larry and Love In Action President Ken Tuck talking about the needs in Africa.
