Love in Action

Support people can actually feel.

A Circle of Love is built to help people feel seen, supported, and connected to practical next steps. We believe love should be more than words. It should show up through care, resources, encouragement, and community support when people need it most.

Care & Encouragement

We provide a compassionate place for people to be heard, supported, and guided toward their next step.

Resource Connection

We help individuals and families connect with information, referrals, and practical resources that may support their needs.

Family & Community Support

We create pathways for families, volunteers, churches, and community members to come together around meaningful support.

Partnership & Outreach

We work with donors, funders, businesses, churches, and community partners who want to help expand the reach and impact of the mission.

A Circle of Love helps create:

  • A place to be heard

    People deserve to be met with compassion, not judgment.

  • A path to practical support

    The right next step can make a difficult season feel less overwhelming.

  • A stronger circle of community

    When people, donors, volunteers, and partners work together, love becomes action.

Why It Matters

When people know where to turn, hope becomes reachable.

Many people face difficult seasons without knowing who to call, where to go, or how to ask for help.

A Circle of Love exists to help close that gap with compassion, dignity, and practical support. We believe no one should feel invisible when they are trying to find their next step.

Through care, connection, resources, and community partnerships, we help people move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling supported.

When there is nowhere to stay tonight.

A Circle of Love may be able to provide temporary emergency housing along with meals, basic necessities, case management, housing and benefits navigation, transportation, and companion-animal accommodation.

Not just a referral somewhere else — direct help, where we have room. Space is limited and admission is not guaranteed, so please reach out and we will tell you honestly what is possible.

Our Story

Nearly 9 Years of Love in Action

A Circle of Love began in 2017 as LaDonna’s Love Foundation and later continued its mission under the name A Circle of Love. Through seasons of service, outreach, and community connection, the heart of the organization has remained the same: helping people feel seen, supported, and loved through practical care.

Today, A Circle of Love is rebuilding and relaunching key programs to support families, feed the hungry, uplift youth, and build hope across the community.
