Josh Bytwerk

Josh Bytwerk serves as the Executive Director of Love in Action of the Tri-Cities, a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to addressing poverty through holistic care and long-term empowerment. With a leadership journey that began as a volunteer, Josh brings a deeply personal and relational approach to his work—focusing not just on meeting immediate needs like food, healthcare, and housing, but on helping individuals move toward stability, dignity, and freedom. Under his leadership, Love in Action has expanded its impact through innovative programs like community co-op markets, financial fitness initiatives, and free medical and dental services.

Josh is passionate about building a connected, compassionate community where transformation happens through relationships as much as resources. He believes the most effective response to poverty is not a handout, but a pathway forward—one rooted in empowerment, collaboration, and genuine care. Through strong partnerships with local churches, businesses, and volunteers, Josh continues to champion a model of service that reflects the heart of the community and creates lasting change for thousands of individuals and families each year.
