Humble Beginnings Can Lead To Big Results |
It's A Blessing to Give Back |
|
We began our journey volunteering with various organizations that were already doing great work in our communities. We’re proud of those efforts, but we also felt called to expand by creating our own programs—unique initiatives designed to uplift people and make a deeper impact on homelessness and the economic challenges facing our city.
Even the smallest donation can create big change. Together, we can feed families, provide clothing, offer personal items, give shelter, support transportation, award educational scholarships, and assist those affected by fires or disasters. Your contributions make these efforts possible. Some donations may also go toward specific events such as holiday toy drives, back-to-school book bags and supplies, Thanksgiving turkey dinners, technology and educational devices, books for read-a-thons, or enrichment outings for both children and adults. Our mission is to bring people together for the common good—turning shared hopes and values into real action. Nonprofits like ours feed, heal, shelter, educate, inspire, and nurture people of every age, race, and background across the nation. We foster civic engagement, build leadership, spark economic growth, and strengthen the very fabric of our communities. And we do it every single day. |
Giving back is truly a blessing because it allows us to share what we have with others while uplifting those in need. At We Love To Give, we believe that every act of kindness—whether big or small—has the power to make a lasting impact. Each day, our organization works to bring hope, resources, and support to individuals and families in our community. From providing food and clothing to offering encouragement and compassion, we are committed to showing love through action. We don’t just wait for people to come to us—we go into the streets to find those who can’t find us, making sure no one is left behind. Most importantly, we see and treat them as people, never overlooking their dignity or humanity. By giving back, we not only help meet immediate needs but also build stronger connections, reminding people that they are valued and never alone.

They Are People Too!

Homeless People Are People Too
Homeless individuals are often overlooked, but they have the same needs, feelings, and desires as everyone else. Just like anyone else, they long for safety, connection, and a sense of purpose. The only difference is that they lack the financial means to meet those needs. It's easy to pass by without noticing, but behind every face is a story, a struggle, and a hope for something better. Compassion and understanding can make a world of difference—because everyone deserves to be seen and valued. |
We Love To Give Theme Music Video
|
Our We Love To Give music video is more than just a song—it’s a reflection of our mission, our heart, and the communities we serve. The video captures real moments of love, service, and connection, while giving thanks and recognition to our supporters who make this work possible. It highlights our ongoing efforts to address food insecurity by showing us in action providing meals and support to those in need. With a positive, upbeat sound, the video is meant to uplift spirits, inspire hope, and spread encouragement, while also clearly sharing where individuals and families can go to receive help and resources. The lyrics were written by Omar Simmons and performed by the We Love To Give board members along with Marquis Simmons, and the video was shot and produced by Marquis Simmons. Through powerful visuals and music, the video celebrates the impact of giving and invites everyone to join a movement rooted in love, service, and community.

LOVE Park Servings
We Love To Give hosts Love Park themed servings on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month, weather permitting. This is where and how We Love To Give began—before we became an organization, we simply went into the streets, showing up to feed people and love on our community. What started as a small act of compassion has grown into a consistent outreach where volunteers help provide meals, encouragement, and genuine connection to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity and homelessness. Serving outdoors at Love Park allows us to meet people where they are, while maintaining a focus on dignity and community. Though we have grown, the heart remains the same:

Join US on The 15th of Every Month - Germantown Community Fridge
|
|
Did you know? WLTG help fill the Germantown fridges every 15th of the month, and you’re welcome to join us! Whether you want to donate food, volunteer your time, or just come out and support, every bit helps. 💛 Let’s keep spreading love and feeding Philly--one fridge at a time.
Please Be Considerate We love being able to serve the Germantown community through our free fridge — it’s there so everyone can have access to food when they need it. Unfortunately, we’ve noticed someone waiting for us to fill the fridge and then taking all the food right after we leave. We just want to remind everyone that the com-munity fridge is meant to share. Please only take what you or your family truly need, so others in our community can be helped too. We’re watching closely to make sure the fridge stays fair for everyone, and we appreciate all who help us keep this space respectful and generous. Let’s continue showing love, not greed. Together, we can make sure no one goes hungry. We Love To Give |

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Giving back can help brighten your mood and provide an opportunity to meet your community. Giving back may be one of the most important principles in life. Those who are givers often receive the rewards of giving in many ways other than just financial gain. It’s been written that the poor will always be among us, but in recent times these disparities have grown by leaps and bounds. Most people give to charities because they believe in the cause or it’s something that has affected them deeply. Donations can be much more than just monetary. Volunteering your time to support a cause you are passionate about is something you will never regret. It will enrich your life, familiarize you with your community, and connect you to people and ideas that will positively impact your perspective for the rest of your life. Helping your community is an opportunity for you to grow as a person, to better understand how you fit into the world around you.
