A commitment to empathy, compassion and respect
We believe everyone deserves respect. Our biggest gift to anyone is giving of our time and love. Through this we can try to address the stigmas associated with living with homelessness. By providing education and awareness in our communities we can improve perceptions and relationships between all living in the same community.
Making this world a better place
There are many ways in which we can show empathy and compassion for people experiencing homelessness.
Education
Homelessness exists globally. Educate your community to eliminate the stigmas around homelessness.
Spreading Awareness
Talk to your friends, church communities, schools and community organizations.
Outreach
Open a club at your local school or your neighborhoods.
Creating your own community
Create your own Made With Love Community in your city.
Support existing organizations
Reach out to your local organizations that support people experiencing homelessness and volunteer or see how you can be involved.
Tokens of affection
Make plarn mats, friendship bracelets, care packages or anything that will bring a smile.
An array of options
When starting Made With Love Community, building kinship was one of our main goals. When we receive a token of affection such as a gift, it makes us happy and feel cared for. That is what we wanted to share with people going through a hard time. Hence we started thinking of things that would be beneficial, ecological and bring a smile.
Friendship bracelets
Friendship bracelet is a symbol of friendship and loyalty given from one person to another. In ancient times, friendship bracelets were tied around the wrist of a friend as a symbol of protection and goodwill. Friendship bracelets can be a way to offer support to a friend and remind them you are thinking of them.
Plarn Mats
Plarn mats are sleeping mats made from repurposed plastic bags that are crocheted together. The word “plarn” is short for “plastic yarn”.
Plarn mats are popular with people experiencing homelessness because they are lightweight and waterproof, and provide a barrier between the ground and the sleeper. They can also be used for disaster relief and temporary sleeping arrangements.
