In 2009, L.O.V.E. was awarded funding from the Department of Justice to build a collaborative network for coordinating resources, mentoring and prevention, intervention and re-entry support for youth in Central Arkansas. Since that time, over 40 organizations, including Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Centers for Youth & Families, Goodwill, churches, schools, business and community leaders have joined this coalition.

​

In 2003, L.O.V.E. opened the Healing Waters Outreach Center in Southwest Little Rock to better establish our physical presence in the neighborhood where so many of the youth and families we work with actually live. Healing Waters started out serving a handful of families through its food pantry. In 2006, we opened up the LOVE Rocks indoor skate park and recreation center to provide a safe haven for area youth to congregate. Today, Healing Waters is serving over 2,000 families per month. In addition to the food pantry, which is now providing 350 food boxes to area families each week. When families come to the food pantry, they also receive household and other items which we distribute from donations received from local Walmart stores, Amazon, Feed The Children, and private donations.
