Our law enforcement officers (LEOs) need to be able to rely on great partners, both in the field and in their community. We appreciate you considering a partnership with the Jacob Pickett Response Organization, or JPRO, in our work to build bridges and break down barriers between LEOs and the communities they serve. LEOs are often there for us in some of the worst moments of our lives. They choose to serve their communities, to sometimes put themselves in harm's way, and to do it all for a paycheck that often does not make ends meet in the worst moments of their own lives. When those moments happen, JPRO will be there for them like they've been there for us. Your support means the world to us and to them!

During that time, they work with Love INC staff and church volunteers to develop financial and life goals and to create a plan to begin moving toward fulfillment of those goals. Love INC staff monitors their progress and may grant extensions at their discretion. Families attend weekly classes at Love INC, including Affirming Potential, Boundaries, and Faith and Finances. Their children also benefit, by participating in enrichment programs of their own.
