What is Love Is Action?

Love Is Action is a public/private, faith-based community initiative that gives everyone safe and effective ways to help prevent child abuse, suicide, homelessness, and other societal ills that harm us all. It is the primary initiative of Successful Survivors Foundation.

There are likely people and organizations in your community who are already engaged in the work of helping others. Love Is Action can help to engage others to come alongside existing programs, and to help you fill in any gaps by bringing in other proven effective programs.

By choosing a LIA vetted, effective, replicable program, such as the ones below, you can begin immediately to help stop child sex trafficking, reduce domestic violence, child abuse, substance abuse, crime, and other societal ills that emanate from social isolation. You can begin today by simply downloading the free materials we've included on our Resource Page. We're here to help you, so contact us and subscribe to stay in touch.

LIACI improves your community by helping kids and families

game changer opioid awareness summit

The GAMECHANGER initiative is a 3-5 year initiative for teens and tweens to help steer them toward safe and healthy choices for their lives, and to encourage their peers to do the same.

Kids need fitting clothing

Imagine how it would feel to wear the same dirty outfit every day. Kids who don't have proper clothing, have little self esteem. Give clothing, give dignity.

Give a kid a job

Dignity and self-esteem come from an earned paycheck. Give dignity by giving a job to do. Gardening, car washing, dog walking, and so much more can help you and can change the trajectory of a kid's life.

One Person Can Make A Difference

I'M JUST ONE PERSON, WHAT CAN I DO?

One of the easiest ways to get involved with LOVE IS ACTION is to offer your "NO BIG DEAL" to a good social services organization near you. Your "no big deal" could be life changing for someone else.

Can you bake a birthday cake for a child who's never had one? Can you give someone a ride to work? Can you help someone learn to read? Can you use your "couponing skills" to get free products for people who need them? Can you teach someone to do something that comes easily to you? Can you pray for someone?

EVERY act of kindness has the potential to change the trajectory of someone's life.

Every person, every business, and every group or club can do something!
