An Update from Love INC
Introducing Kelley Stokesbary
Hi. I’m Kelley. I’m the new Communications and Office Coordinator and am excited to join Love INC of Eastern Carver County. I bring with me seven years’experience in the nonprofit sector, having worked exclusively with youth-based organizations. I love a handful of things really important to me.
I love words. Words have the ability to change the world. They can move you to tears or bring about laughter. They can inspire courage, lift your spirit, or remind people they are not alone. They can transport us to other worlds and return us home when we need it most. I strive to always make my words count, whether written or spoken.
I love home. I love my family, my neighbors, and friends. I hope people leave my home restored and renewed and try to create a safe, comfortable space within our walls. I like winter evenings, nestled in the warmth of our family room with the fireplace lit and my loved ones beside me. I love the community in which we live – the small town feel just minutes from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
I love people from all backgrounds and walks of life. I love learning about their stories, what makes them tick, and hearing their joys and struggles.
I love Jesus. In everything I do, I aim to be like Him. I am a champion of grace and goodness. I am excited to join Love INC and to assist in mobilizing the Church to transform lives and our community.
I look forward to meeting and working alongside the individuals, churches, and sponsors that comprise Love INC. Drop in the office and say Hi - I'd love to meet you!
Blessings,
Kelley
