Love is a Verb, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Love is a Verb strives to provide the Dayton, Ohio community with encouragement, support, and love through programs and outreach initiatives.
“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which He looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which He blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are His body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
― Teresa of Avila
Words of affirmation are very important when facing a challenging time, as they help individuals maintain a positive outlook, help build resilience, and cope with stress and anxiety. For these reasons and more, our team chose to focus on words of affirmation this year; it began with adding a affirmation card in each Dignity and Confidence Kit delivered to Montgomery County Children Services back in April earlier this year.
Our 5 Year Anniversary theme is “Words of Affirmation Create Ripples of Positive Change!”
· This year, in celebration of our 5th anniversary, youth throughout the Dayton community will be coming together to create colorful affirmations, to include in our Love Bins, that will be delivered on our anniversary. Our anniversary delivery will include our Q1 and Q2 Love Bin donation deliveries.
· This year, in celebration of our 5th anniversary, we are partnering with Early Affirmations and donating their Affirmation Canvas Tote Bags in addition to our Q2 Journey With Pride luggage donation on our anniversary. If you would like to make a financial donation towards a canvas affirmation bag, please go to the "support us" page. We will accept donations for the canvas affirmation bags through June 12th.
· This year, in celebration of our 5th anniversary, supporters can also donate affirmation cards, coloring books, or teen affirmation books that will be delivered with our Journey With Pride luggage donation on our anniversary. Please click the "Anniversary Amazon Button" to view our list.

Your donation helped us achieve our 100 luggage bag goal. Every dollar went towards making a difference in the lives of those we serve, through our Journey With Pride Program.
THANK YOU, Day Air Credit Union for your support and extremely thoughtful donation to our Journey With Pride Program.
