Es Amor Servicios Cristianos is a faith based not-for-profit corporation that serves low-income families and/or individuals, and Spanish speakers in the Greater Lansing area. Although the services offered were orginally developed to address the needs of low-income Spanish speaking families by providing such social services by Spanish speaking individuals, the scope of the organization's services have broadened to provide relief to the poor, distressed or underprivileged without regard to the language spoken. It is our hope to allow such individuals to ask for help without leaving them feeling broken or belittled because of a language barrier or the fact that they needed to seek outside assistance to provide for their family.

Our client base consists of low-income persons, mainly families and Spanish speakers who need emergency assistance and/or help obtaining services offered to them but struggle to do so due to language barriers.

Es Amor is here to lessen the government's burden by providing faith based services and programs such low income Spanish speaking individuals require when asking for public assistance, primarily by providing translation services and temporary assistance. By contributing to the physical needs of society's underprivileged classes and by giving them a hand up to help them become productive members of society, our services are a small investment in comparison to the cost of ignoring the problem.

Since incorporation in October 2007, Es Amor Servicios Cristianos has made remarkable progress.  We have successfully assisted over 30 families and individuals with obtaining food stamps, unemployment benefits, employment, clothing, furniture, insurance, and more.

 

"Recognizing that the Spanish speaking community was limited in receiving free or low cost services in their native language. I felt faith based was vital in removing these language barriers while providing services. I have witnessed first hand while translating for others at appointments that what is being conveyed lack great understanding. Because of this I wanted to give in such a way that lives would be transformed and people could be at ease knowing that they belonged to something greater. That when God goes before you there is NO barrier. Several years later God told me He was expanding my territory and that I was to begin to assist all that came. It is truely a blessing and an honor to serve my Heavenly Father by serving my brothers and sisters in Christ."
