Serving with passion, giving with love

Transforming lives with love

ABOUT US

Our story of faith and hope

Over 23 years ago, we founded Grace and Love in response to God’s grace — the same grace that reached out to us when we were facing our darkest moments as two people living on the streets. From that moment on, we understood that if God had given us this gift of transformation, we were called to be a blessing to others who needed it most. That’s how this dream was born — a dream to dedicate our lives to helping others experience the same love and hope that changed ours.

This is who we are

Our Core Values

GRACE

Our focus is to help people in our communities who struggle to survive, offering timely support and hope to those in need. If you have experienced grace, we invite you to share that precious gift with others.

OUR PROJECTS

MISSIONARIES OF HOPE: Visits to communities where Grace and Love volunteers serve, providing spiritual, emotional, and physical support. Our team encourages and strengthens local efforts through words of hope, solidarity activities, and essential resources.

A HELPING HAND: Some of the most forgotten members of our society are our elderly. We want them to feel special, with volunteers who visit them every month — sharing snacks, spending time with them, and providing essential supplies to meet their basic needs.

HAPPY BOX: Every December, more than 100,000 children are blessed through this initiative. In 2023 alone, we reached over 15 locations and 5 countries with gifts that bring joy and hope at Christmas time.

POUND OF LOVE: The best way to fight poverty is to share what we have — whether little or much. Every month we deliver around 1,000 food markets to families in need, made possible by generous hearts who give their “pound of love.”

BACK TO SCHOOL: Many children in vulnerable areas don’t have access to education or can’t afford school supplies. Our goal is to provide them with a complete school kit, so they can succeed in their studies.

PAINTING SMILES: This program renovates and repairs homes of vulnerable people, especially the elderly, transforming their spaces and filling them with hope, joy, and dignity.

SMILES CLINIC: We visit hospitals and communities affected by violence and pain, bringing words of faith, comfort, and love to those who need encouragement the most.

STEPS OF LOVE: Each pair of shoes we give is more than a gift, it’s a message of hope. We want every child to remember that their life has value, their dignity matters, and their story is just beginning.

Our 2025 IN REVIEW Grace & Love

JULY

🌍 Missionaries of Love

In July, we extended our hands beyond borders. “Missionaries of Love” took us to Guatemala, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the United States, where we shared hope, food, and the message of Jesus with hundreds of families. Every smile and every hug reminded us that when grace is shared, love knows no limits.

AUGUST

😄 Smiles Clinic (Colombia🇨🇴)

This month reminded us that a single smile can change a heart. During our “Smiles Clinic”, volunteers and healthcare professionals joined efforts to provide care, joy, and restore confidence to many people. Each brightened face was living proof that love is shown through simple acts of kindness.

SEPTEMBER

🤝 Hands of Love (Colombia🇨🇴)

In September, our “Hands of Love” reached communities in need across Colombia. We provided food, support, and above all, words of hope. It was a time to embrace, to serve, and to remember that we all have something to give. Generosity became a bridge of transformation.

OCTOBER

🇬🇹🇨🇴🇺🇸 Pound of Love and Steps of Love (Guatemala, Colombia, and the United States)

In October, we brought our Pound of Love program to Guatemala, Colombia and Orlando, Florida. There, immigrant families received groceries, encouragement, and prayer. Crossing borders to love others reminds us that no language or distance can stand in the way of compassion — when love is the motivation, help always arrives right on time.

NOVEMBER

🌎🚀 Dreaming of Reaching Further

November is a month of preparation and faith. At Grace and Love, we continue working to return to Guatemala, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the United States — but this time with hearts challenged to go even further. We dream of seeing the love that started in just a few hands reach new nations, new families, and new stories. This month, we dream, plan, and prepare to multiply the impact.

DECEMBER

🎄Love in Action (Guatemala🇬🇹, Colombia🇨🇴, the U.S.🇺🇸, and the Dominican Republic🇩🇴)

In December, Grace & Love Foundation experienced a powerful season of service and generosity, impacting communities in Guatemala, Colombia, Orlando (U.S.), and the Dominican Republic.
Through our Cajita Feliz program, we distributed approximately 1,700 gifts to children, seniors, and families facing vulnerable circumstances. We also celebrated with more than 200 senior adults and hosted ClinicFest in Huehuetenango, providing comprehensive medical care.
Each initiative was a tangible expression of love, hope, and dignity—demonstrating that when love turns into action, it transforms lives beyond borders.

International Recognition December 2025 🏅

On December 20, Grace & Love Foundation received a distinguished international recognition honoring more than 20 years of continuous service to vulnerable communities across the United States and Latin America.
