UPDATE: We’re at 83% of our year end goal — we have $286K left to raise by the end of 2025 to fully fund our work this season. Right now, your gift is being doubled. Make a year-end gift today. ([link removed])
At Love146, our work focuses on ending child trafficking, a reality that brings us face to face with very heavy situations every day. And still, we make intentional space for lightness and joy as a team and with the kids we serve. That tension is intentional. Unfiltered Joy is one of our core values at Love146 ([link removed]) .
As the year winds down, our team has been finding small ways to stay connected and have fun, including a collaborative Spotify experiment featuring our favorite and least favorite holiday songs. We’re sharing it not because we all agree (we definitely don’t… like which list does “Christmas Shoes” belong on?) but because this is part of what community looks like for us. And we’re glad you’re a part of it, too.
So if it brings you joy, listen along with us:
