Loving People Forward…
by connecting Columbia’s relationships and resources
Love Columbia coordinates community resources and relationships to love people forward.
One in five Columbians live in poverty, and many struggle to make ends meet, find livable wage jobs, or safe, affordable housing. Many lack the positive, supportive relationships that are needed to flourish.
When people in need contact us, we listen without judgment and partner with them to improve their lives.
Needing Help
We come alongside anyone in our community who wants help creating a path forward to become self-sufficient or improve their life.
Giving Help
We offer a range of programs and services, mobilizing community volunteers to help implement them. We serve the whole person and engage the whole community.
“When someone’s down, you reach out your hand, you help them up. It’s what I taught my family and it’s what I taught my team: it’s what Love Columbia does!”
— Gary Pinkel, Former University of Missouri Head Football Coach
