20 years of commitment to improving
the quality of life for New Yorkers
Living 2 Love is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, single parents, and families in need throughout New York City.
It all began in 2006 with just $23 and the devoted hearts of a young couple determined to love and serve underserved community members. What started as simple food bags, socks, and personal care items soon became regular outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness on the streets and in the subway stations of Manhattan.
CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY!
No matter our social standing, we all have the power to create opportunities for those in need. Our journey began with small but meaningful acts of kindness, love, and compassion.
