We CARE I.N.C. Board and Staff
As a non-profit, We Care I.N.C. is diligent about how to use the funding it receives through donations and grants. That is why We Care has just 5 staff members - 4 part-time and 1 full-time, but over 850 active volunteers which allows We Care to serve over 34,000 individual needs a year.

MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST NEEDED IN COVERT!

This is a paid position requiring six hours a week and flexibility when it comes to hours and promises to be interesting. Applicants must live in Covert, want to share their faith while working in an active and growing ministry and have great people skills. Want to talk about it or to apply? Give Linda at our South Haven office a call (637-4342, Ext. 21). Rewards are “heavenly”!
