At Love Does, we believe love isn’t just something we talk about - it’s something we do. Here in San Diego, the Love Does Boutique is doing just that by offering a free shopping experience for single moms, to fill up on essentials to help them care for their families. This year, we want you to be a part of helping us stock the boutique! Each quarter, we’ll be collecting specific items to make sure every mom finds exactly what she needs. If you’d like to add a little extra love, consider including a personal note of encouragement with your donation - a simple way to remind these incredible moms that they are valued, supported, and never alone. There are two ways to give! You can donate directly through our Amazon Wish List or if you are local to San Diego, come drop your items at: NTC Liberty Station Building 201 Love Does 2820 Roosevelt Rd Suite 204 San Diego, 92106 Amazon Wishlist: https://lnkd.in/grbHEAB2

Hi friends! This is one of those fun messages I get to write to you because we have exciting news over here at Love Does! I’m delighted to share with you that Jody Luke has been promoted to President of Love Does. I’m not going anywhere and will actually be more involved in my continuing twenty year role as a volunteer. You have probably noticed that Love Does has been busy as the needs and opportunities around us have increased. Since 2021 when Jody took over as Executive Director, we announced we had big dreams for Love Does to double our impact and expand our domestic programs. We have done that and much more. Big projects require solid leadership experience and Jody has certainly brought her years of business experience to the table. Under her direction, Love Does grew from 7 to 14 countries abroad with multiple projects in each country. All of this occurred while we expanded our domestic programs for refugees, single moms, and those experiencing food insecurity. If you know Jody, then you know she is the perfect person to lead Love Does into the future, because she likes to get things done and is unapologetic in her desire to lead with love and meet practical needs in massive ways. To this end, we are well on our way to creating a world-class university in Northern Uganda!??More information on that to come. I know Jody will continue to find ways to honor your generosity while ensuring the sustainability of our foundational programs. Whether she is talking to those who are incarcerated at San Quentin or the president of Uganda at the presidential palace, Jody brings a huge amount of joy, professionalism, and energy to every friendship she makes and task she takes on. On behalf of myself, Jody, the Board, and our amazing team thank you for being part of Love Does and for keeping your eyes on the horizon. Together, we are changing lives, and we’re going to have some fun together as we do it in the months and years ahead! As we celebrate this exciting news, we’re also thrilled to share our Annual Report with you! Inside, you’ll find stories of impact and hope that?you?made possible. Thanks to our worldwide network of friends, we’ve seen the impossible become possible—again and again. https://lnkd.in/gF7aS93U Bob Goff Founder, Love Does
