Bakersfield Love INC

Our mission is to mobilize the Church to transform lives and communities
In the Name of Christ.

Love INC was founded in 1977.Love INC's founder, Dr. Virgil Gulker, was a social worker and outreach director in Holland, Michigan in the late 1970's. Deeply committed to helping people trapped in poverty, he was certain God had called others to the same mission. As he talked to church members and pastors, Dr. Gulker came to understand that Christians did indeed want to help the needy, but they had few ideas about how to do so. 

Today, Love INC has over 120 affiliates in 30 states, representing a network of more than 8,000 churches and 5,000 community agencies, and 160,000 volunteers helping nearly one million people in need each year. Love INC stands ready to welcome new affiliates in any community that want to participate. As long as there are people in need, Love INC has work to do.
