We are grateful to show our community God\u2019s love in a practical way,\u201d said Chad Fugitt, pastor at Central Baptist Church in Corbin and one of the organizers of the event. Fugitt said while exact numbers are not available, the number of people that received food boxes increased from approximately 300 to more than 500. \u201cWe really reached out to our people and they responded,\u201d Fugitt said. \u201cWe are really grateful for that.\u201d Fugitt said LoveLoud Serve Saturday at The Arena was well attended with individuals lining up as early at 7:30 a.m. for the 9 a.m. opening. The event included a free yard sale, health screenings, haircuts, legal services, recovery ministries and a new kids program. Earlier in the week, LoveLoud volunteers distributed snacks to downtown businesses and made snow cones for students at several local schools. Fugitt credited the volunteers for their willingness to give of their time, especially at Saturday\u2019s event. \u201cYou have got people who have worked all week long and then they are willing to sacrifice their Saturday to help share the love of Jesus with others in the community,\u201d Fugitt said. Fugitt said while the 2017 LoveLoud is barely over, planning is already beginning for the 2018 event. While the event has grown from year to year, Fugitt said organizers continue to learn each year and work to find new ways to make the following year better. One such area is the jobs fair, which drew multiple area employers who were ready and willing to offer jobs on the spot. \u201cWe were not only able to help unemployed people find a job, but it was an opportunity for others to find a better job,\u201d Fugitt said. \u201cIt feels like a next level event for LoveLoud.\u201d Fugitt said the efforts to publicize the different aspects of LoveLoud, especially on social media, have not only helped the community to take advantage of the event, but has inspired churches in other communities across the region and the state to begin their own LoveLoud events. \u201cI have preached in churches in Hazard and Garrard County about what we do and had reports from different counties across the state from pastors that want to do it,\u201d Fugitt said. \u201cIt really has been an idea that has sort of taken hold,\u201d Fugitt added. \u201cIt is easy to do,\u201d Fugitt said explaining it can be as simple as offering someone a cold cup of water or buying some groceries. Fugitt said as to what LoveLoud 2018 and beyond would offer, there are a lot of dreams and idea. \u201cWe would really like to take the healthcare thing to another level,\u201d Fugitt said adding organizers would be searching for partner with the appropriate equipment that would permit them to expand the services offered. \u201cThe job fair is just scratching the surface,\u201d Fugitt added explaining that organizers would like to add a lot more employers and people. \u201cWe feel like we can help facilitate that,\u201d Fugitt said. \u201cWhile LoveLoud covers multiple areas, Fugitt said organizers know there are things they could do better and some areas they have not yet broached. \u201cWe are always open to new ideas,\u201d Fugitt said. \u201cIf folks in the community have an idea or suggestion we are always open to hearing from the community.\u201d In addition, Fugitt said other churches that may wish to be part of future LoveLoud events are welcome. More information about the 2018 event will be post at the Corbin LoveLoud Facebook page. Anyone interested in participating may contact Fugitt at 528-6650. \u201cLoveLoud has sort of taken on a life of its own,\u201d Fugitt said. &nbsp;"}
