There's More Than 1 Way To Make An Impact

Expressions Through Creative Design

Creative & self expression will be the first love event of the week. Youth participants will have the opportunity to make their mark, showcase their individuality as we crown a creative writing champion and prepare gift bags with our resource partners for later in the week.

Bag Em' Up & Load Em' Up

This event segment is all about being the hands and feet of outreach. Our attendees will be able to really see how their efforts will make a difference in the lives of the people around them. Prepping distribution cars and making sure our support zones receive their items safely and securely. Did I also mention PANCAKES!

Love Clothing & Food Drive

The “Love Clothing & Food Drive” will encourage the youth to look at the small ways that they can enhance the lives of those around them. Students begin to understand the power of volunteerism and culture sensitivity.

Love By The Tons Challenge

How BIG can we go and how much cleanliness can we create! Creating your Eco-Love Team will put you in the race to collect the most waste. We have created safe cleaning zones for all volunteers of all ages to grab a mask, gloves and eyewear to take on this Love Recycling Challenge.

Laila's Tiny Homes Project

The idea behind the Tiny Home Project is to create a safe place for homeless and rehabilitated people to reintegrate themselves back into society. Our mission is to bring people together in a safe environment, where they can be connected to services and programs.
