Crisis in Nonprofit Transparency? —And How You Can Help!  

Are you like ME??  You Want to Help, But Where Does Your Money Really Go? You’re generous. You want to make a difference. But when it comes to donating to nonprofits, you find yourself wondering: Where does my money actually go? Who is it really helping?

Many of us have the SAME EXACT THOUGHTS! Lack of transparency is one of the biggest barriers between donors and nonprofits. We want to give, and know our contribution creates real change. Without clarity, trust breaks down—and organizations that should be making a difference struggle to keep their doors open or worse yet....   BURN-OUT!

Here’s the reality: Many nonprofits DO NOT do a great job of communicating how funds are used. Not because they’re hiding anything, but because they’re focused on doing the work rather than telling the story.

At Love Overwhelming, we believe that transparency is the key to making a lasting impact. That’s why we created Love Your Nonprofit Coffee & Conversations, a space where donors, community members, and nonprofit leaders can have honest, open discussions about funding, impact, and solutions for homelessness and poverty.

Love Your Nonprofit Coffee & Conversations: Imagine sitting down with a cup of coffee, surrounded by passionate people who care about making a difference. No confusion, just real talk from local Nonprofit agency leaders about where your donations go and the impact they create.

At these events, you’ll:

✅ Hear firsthand from those impacted by local community Nonprofit work

✅ See exactly how donations are used to provide services for housing solutions, recovery services, food insecurity, gainful employment, reentry, basic essential needs and medical care coordination

✅ Share your solutions for homelessness and poverty in Cowlitz County

✅ Learn how YOU can be part of real, lasting change in Cowlitz County

Your Next Step: Be the Hero in This Story! You don’t have to wonder if your donation is making a difference. You can be part of the solution by joining Love Your Nonprofit Coffee & Conversations today.

Cowlitz County Faces Critical Decision on $11 Million Homeless Funding as Hope Village Closes As Longview's transitional housing program ends October 1st, county commissioners consider accepting Washington State homeless services grant Cowlitz County commissioners face a pivotal decision in the coming weeks: whether to accept $11 million in Washington State funding for homeless services through the Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG) program. This decision comes at a critical time, as Hope Village—Longview's successful transitional housing program—closes October 1st after serving over 110 residents in 2.5 years.

  Why Peer Support and Community Health Workers Are the Heart of Effective Homelessness Solutions By Charles Hendrickson | Love Overwhelming Blog In the latest wave of federal policy announcements, Washington State’s Housing First approach has come under pressure. A new executive order threatens to pull millions in federal funding unless cities like Seattle abandon proven strategies in favor of outdated enforcement-first models.

And when paired with community health workers and peer support specialists, it becomes one of the most powerful tools we have for reducing homelessness, hospitalizations, and justice system involvement. Rising Pressure, Broken Models There’s increasing political pressure to prioritize shelters with mandatory treatment over housing with optional, voluntary support...

 The Reality of Wound Care for the Homeless in Washington State Access to healthcare should be a basic human right, yet for many experiencing homelessness in Washington State, proper wound care is nearly impossible to obtain. In places like Longview, Washington, where homeless services are critical, individuals are left with few options, often leading to preventable complications, infections, and even amputations. At Love Overwhelming, a nonprofit dedicated to harm reduction and peer support, we see these struggles firsthand and work tirelessly to bridge the gap in healthcare access. The Struggles of Wound Care for the Unhoused   Many people experiencing homelessness do not have access to proper medical care, leaving them to manage serious wounds on their own. In Cowlitz County and surrounding areas like Lewis County, Grays Harbor County, Pacific County, and Clark County, wound care clinics that accept Medicaid are nearly nonexistent. This means those who cannot afford private...
