Founded in 1991 as Love INC and rebranded as Aspire Ministries in 2023, the organization has been serving Marion County churches and residents for over 32 years. The move to the new facility marks an important milestone and will enable them to expand their reach and enhance their offerings.

Over the past year, Aspire Ministries has relocated its Connection Center/Headquarters, the Hauling Hope Furniture Warehouse, and opened several new ministries to provide additional resources for the community. As part of their ongoing expansion, Aspire also facilitates Marion County’s growing CommUNITY Collaborative meetings, now held monthly on the first floor of the RHAM building.

Aspire Ministries is open Monday-Friday, 9:00AM-5:00PM. For help with resources, please contact the Connection Center Help Line by phone at 740-382-3340.
