Love INC of Brevard

Every story of hope begins with someone choosing to care.

Our newest Love INC of Brevard newsletter is filled with powerful reminders of what happens when churches, volunteers, donors, and community partners come together to serve their neighbors. From lives being transformed through meaningful relationships to families finding encouragement and support during difficult seasons, these stories reflect the beauty of love in action.

As you read, we hope you'll be encouraged by the impact being made across Brevard County—and reminded that every prayer, every act of service, and every gift helps make transformation possible.

Some partnerships feel less like collaboration and more like alignment—where purpose, timing, and heart all meet in the same place.

This week, we’re especially grateful for Tara Brown Pagliarini and the team at EverythingBrevard.com for shining a light on something so powerful happening right here in our community: the practice of asset mapping—gathering what we already have, connecting it, and using it to strengthen the lives of people in need.

Through thoughtful exploration, they’ve helped bring attention to how communities can come together in practical, hopeful ways—seeing that no resource, relationship, or organization stands alone, but instead can become part of a larger network of care and support.

We’re so thankful for every hand that helps build something better and for partners who help turn ideas into impact; reminding us that when people and organizations work side by side, something beautiful happens—hope multiplies, gaps close, and neighbors become part of one shared story of care.

Today, we are incredibly grateful for Max, owner of 'sWelding&Fabrication in Cocoa.

A few months back, we shared an urgent need with our community. Our lift gate was in dire need of repair, and we were searching for a skilled welder who could help get our Village Thrift truck back in safe working condition.

Max answered that call.

Not only did he generously give of his time and talents, but he approached the project with exceptional diligence, craftsmanship, and care. Thanks to his hard work, our truck is now repaired, operating safely, and able to continue picking up and delivering furniture that helps serve families throughout our community.

When we thanked Max for his support, he humbly replied:

"Of course, I love doing this kind of stuff, especially when I am helping you help the community at the same time."

That simple statement captures the heart of what makes this repair so special. Max, thank you for using your skills to make a difference. Your generosity helps us continue serving our neighbors with dignity, hope, and practical support every day.

Please join us in thanking Max for helping Love INC of Brevard continue its mission of transforming lives and communities In the Name of Christ.

What an incredible evening of worship and connection! We were honored to be part of the Josh Baldwin concert at First Baptist Melbourne, alongside so many amazing ministries serving our community.

With nearly 1,200 people gathered for a night of worship, testimonies, and a powerful message of God's grace, it was a blessing to connect with attendees and share the mission of Love INC of Brevard. We are grateful to MPACT - Men Passionate About Christ and Hope 106.3 WCIF for creating opportunities like this that bring the Body of Christ together.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, shared their story, or learned more about how local churches are working together to transform lives in Brevard County.

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." — Hebrews 10:24

Last week, our team had the pleasure of connecting with some wonderful new friends at Calvary Chapel Titusville. We are always encouraged by opportunities to build relationships with local pastors and churches and share the mission of Love INC of Brevard.

Following the visit, Pastor Paul attended the Melbourne Resources Collaborative's Community Asset Mapping meeting, where local organizations gathered to strengthen connections, share resources, and explore ways to better serve our community together.

When churches, ministries, nonprofits, and community partners come together, we can accomplish far more than any one organization can alone. Thank you to everyone who continues to collaborate, network, and invest in making our community stronger. Every new connection creates new pathways of hope, support, and care for our neighbors in need.

We’re incredibly honored to share that Village Thrift has earned the BEST of 2026 Melbourne Award in the Thrift Store category!

What makes this recognition even more meaningful is that it was not a paid placement or nomination. This award is based on real customer experiences through Google reviews and was verified and certified by BusinessRate.

Every donation dropped off, every treasure discovered on our shelves, every volunteer who gives their time, and every kind review shared has helped make this possible.

To all of our amazing shoppers, donors, volunteers, staff, and supporters: THANK YOU for believing in what God is doing through this ministry. This award belongs to all of you!

If you haven’t visited yet, come see why the community is talking about Village Thrift!
