Love In the Name of Christ is so thankful for the wonderful support received so far, but the needs continue; please help by calling and serving and donating today!
repair and the owners are hoping for homes again someday.

Love InC of the Greater Gowanda Area is hosting a display of the world renowned Fontanini porcelain figurines depicting "The Stories of the Bible."
Similar to Nativity scenes, many scenarios depict the life of Jesus, in the settings, in the villages, with great detail, including food and items specific to the market places, and stories in the Bible.
The House of Fontanini was founded in 1908 by Emanuele Fontanini in a small Italian village called Bagni di Lucca located in Tuscany. Today, the House of Fontanini is run by the fourth generation of the Fontanini family. Love InC was blessed to receive this collection as a donation of thanksgiving for help during the flood recovery and a wish that more people could enjoy the display and benefit the Love InC ministry.
