We’re not just handing out another sack! We’re “Sending A Kingdom Sacrifice of Love.”
About Us
Starting the Mission
In 2017, SAKS Of Love was founded by Christina Leary, Executive Director, and her husband, Lorenzo Leary, Operations Manager. What began as a simple act of compassion has grown into a community-funded organization made up of dedicated citizens serving the counties of Nacogdoches, Angelina, Shelby, and Panola.
The Learys became concerned about senior citizens who lacked support for their personal care and household needs. They began delivering sacks of essentials to elderly neighbors and spending time visiting with them with small acts that soon revealed a much greater mission of love. As more sacks went out, the doors opened to serve families in additional counties, and SAKS Of Love continued to grow.
Today, SAKS Of Love serves communities across Angelina, Harris, Nacogdoches, Shelby, Smith, and Panola counties. We are neighbors coming together to bless and uplift one another through many expressions of love. Our unified hearts and compassion reflect the love God has given us.
We are not just another sack handed out.
We are “Sending A Kingdom Sacrifice of Love”—embracing our community in our own unique and meaningful way.
About SAKS Of Love
How We Operate
We upgraded our SAKS Shack where we “Shed a lot of Love!” We are a little bigger now! Thank you community for your love and continued support! We are still working on the inside, but we are grateful!
All requests for assistance should be submitted through an email or by the electronic form on our website.
Elderly Outreach-Delivery Only
Deliveries are every two months. Our supplies are limited, if you miss our scheduled delivery date for that month, then you will be added to our waiting list if supplies are available. If supplies are not available then you will be added to the next outreach scheduled. Updates are shared on our Facebook page.
We only deliver to our elderly neighbors in the following counties and cities:
- Shelby County-Center, Timpson, Tenaha, Joaquin
- Nacogdoches County-Nacogdoches, Woden, Garrison, Martinsville, Douglass
- Angelina County-Lufkin
- Panola County-Carthage, Deadwood, Gary, Beckville
How do you qualify?
We bless according to the needs of the family. Although we cannot serve everyone, we are called to be a blessing to our community on a case by case basis. Qualifying for our services is to be a member of our community age 60 and above. Our main concern is our elderly neighbors but we will assist other family types within our capacity.
Income is a factor, but not a decision maker in this organization. As of now, we all qualify. The world is not as it was 3 years ago.
We’re On The Move! The Dream Machine is Here!
Sponsor our Gas Tank!
With gas prices fluctuating the cost of delivering to our neighbors is halting us from making deliveries as normal. With a gift of your choice sponsor our tank to help keep us visual in the communities we serve.
