Mission Statement:

Empowering veterans to restore love, pride, and purpose in neighborhoods through STEAM based projects, community building, new workforce development and housing.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

It is our hope in Project Love Coalition that people will come together and join hands and hearts to improve the quality of life for veterans who have served our country with honor but are now in need. Solutions to these problems are achievable but will take the collective effort of all people or groups committed to bringing about better conditions for people facing serious crisis. Project Love Coalition aims to bring veterans and other community residents together to identify and implement sustainable solutions to build a more inclusive and diverse community that affords more social and economic opportunities in the areas of arts, housing options, workforce and business development.

Additional Information:

The Peace and Friendship Farm is our flagship program. Volunteers help with our agricultural farming and conservation activities that maintain the operation of an urban farm engaged in growing fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Additionally, volunteers assist with helping area neighbors with learning how to grow healthy organic foods. New volunteers need to attend an in-person orientation session, which are scheduled in advance.

We also have a variety of different volunteer opportunities to be involved. For more information about these opportunities, see our website at
