Sound off


The Love INC Sound Off for Poverty is a national youth initiative that teaches young people about poverty in America, and empowers them to do something about it by raising awareness and funds to help people in need through Love INC. How? By conducting a MEDIA FAST (abstaining from electronic entertainment for at least 3 days or up to one week). In this way the youth tune out life's distractions (no cell phones, MySpace, ipods, etc.) and tune in to God's heart for the poor.

Did you know that there are approximately the same percentage of Americans living in poverty today as when President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a War on Poverty over 40 years ago? One in every 8 Americans are living in poverty.

Love INC has declared "The Love on Poverty" because Scripture tells us that love never fails (I Corinthians 13:8).

Funds raised by youth during their Media Fast supports the work of Love INC in meeting the needs of the poor in our communities.
