A GAP Ministry is a ministry a church develops that fills a gap not being filled by any other source.
You can help "FUEL" these important programs through donations made to the coordinating church or organization.

the elizabeth ministry
(St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church, Springville) The Elizabeth Ministry originally formed to provide newborn items to those in the maternity ward at BCH. Soon after the ward closed, members listened to a presentation about Love INC. A seed was planted and the Elizabeth Ministry decided to change its mission and begin to link with Love INC to fill needs in the community at large.
The Trading Post of Springville, Closet to Closet (United Methodist Church,Sardinia), The Clothing Closet (St. John the Baptist, West Valley), FISH of East Aurora, and Bread of Life Outreach (Colden) are resources for referrals.
transportation
Love INC and Healthy Community Alliance worked together to create a model for rural transportation that has drawn national attention. In 2015, Love INC took full control of this ministry, transporting individuals to doctor and agency appointments throughout western New York.
