Little hands, big love. 🫶

These two are showing us that no act of service is too small when it comes to making Midland better together! 🍂

A little conversation from the Love Midland 2026 kickoff 🎤❤️

Love Midland Founder John Gerlach sat down with City Councilman Jack Ladd to talk about what it looks like when our community comes together to serve, connect, and make Midland better.

Because when we love our city together, good things happen. 🫶

Last Saturday, we had a blast during Love Midland's City-Wide Volunteer Day.

We are so thankful to everyone who came out and showed love for our community, especially the lovely volunteers who chose our organization as their service project. During the two hours our volunteers were with us, they provided a month's worth of Bible studies for a group of 10 of our clients enrolled in our religious audio program.

We were also able to record one short book that fulfilled one client's request. We are so touched and grateful, and we look forward to next year's event! Thank you, Love Midland, for putting this together. 🥰❤️

❤️ Love Midland ❤️

Well this is our second year with this event and its even better than the last!!!!

As a super small organization, young, etc etc, we rely heavily on the goodness of this community to help US to help those we are called to.

This means without volunteer support we can get bogged down and backlogged quick! But these volunteers came together and in record time bagged ALL our stock of hygiene! Enough for a month! Thats saying alot. We see about 50-100 clients in outreach a week!!!!!

The official count is still coming but its not always about numbers. Its about heart. And these people had HEART! We cant thank you enough volunteers for your time and your dedication to your community!!!!

Love Midland ❤️ you are making a difference in us non-profits lives! 🫂
