What we do

Strategic Plan

Inspired by the life of Karen Latner, we employ the following approaches to achieve our mission and bring warmth and light to the families we work with:

— We Organize

Organize a diverse multicultural group of volunteers and other contributors who have unique talents and generous spirits.

— We Personalize the Experience

Select and gather information on family applicants to personalize the experience for maximum healing effect; eligible families are those dealing with physical or mental illness, loss, poverty, stress, or other difficult situations.

— We Visit You

Plan day or evening visits to homes of selected families or other suitable venue.

— We Provide Care

We spend time with families to relieve them of chores and distractions, and put them in a peaceful and loving environment. We treat them to a healthy gourmet meal, massage and body work, live musical performance, yoga and meditation and/or other spiritually enriching and nourishing experiences that reflect their needs and the unique talents of our volunteers and contributors.

— We Bring the Right People

Select qualified, empathetic and talented people to render these services in a creative and caring manner.

— We Enrich

Create a legacy of joyful, connective experiences that enrich the lives of both family recipients and our volunteers and contributors.
