WHAT IS
LIVE LOVE
LIVE LOVE is more than just a non-profit organization; it's a movement, a way of life.
VISION.
Everybody needs somebody – someone to believe in them and fight for their future.
At Live Love, we meet people where they are, build trusted relationships, and connect neighbors with each other and the resources for a full life. Love is our way of life, and when lived intentionally, it unlocks potential and transforms communities.
MISSION & HISTORY.
We live out love by seeing beauty in the marginalized, valuing the forgotten, showing up consistently, and working together to create opportunity where it’s been unrealized.
We partner with our neighbors to build strong, connected communities where everyone belongs and has the chance to thrive.

OUR STORY.
LIVE LOVE began with a friendship between Paul and a homeless man named Carlos in Guatemala — a moment that revealed how powerful love can be when it’s lived out intentionally. Inspired by that experience, Paul and Melinda launched Live Love in 2007 with a simple conviction: love has the power to transform people and communities.
Today, Live Love is a community development movement rooted in that same belief. We empower neighborhood leaders, build meaningful connections, and create real opportunities for people to thrive. Love isn’t just an idea to us — it’s how we show up, how we work, and how we build strong, caring communities.
