The organization then moved onto provide arts services including African Hand Drumming, Ballet, and African Dance. These programs have served over 300 children and their families over the years. In 2008 the organization began an urban farming program that strives to teach how to grow your own food and have a sustainable lifestyle.

A Gift of Love Charity, Inc has given away over 3000 books to children during our story time program. Another accomplishment would be the expansion of the agricultural program to include a second site for an urban farm. The organization has also expanded the arts program to serve more individuals in the community by furthering and fostering collaboration and outreach in the community.

Antonio L. Burton, also known as “Toni Picasso,” led a discussion through art and poetry about what steps we can take as a society to provide better support to students whose parent(s) or family member(s) are currently incarcerated.

It was an amazing night. Minds were opened, hearts were healed; and tears were shed. Thank you to everyone who came to share in the experience.
