BeLovEd Ojai-

Be Love Educators, Inspired by our Beloved, for Beloveds, to Be Love Educators. We believe at BeLovEd our first purpose is to be an example of love in our everyday lives. We were created by a loving creator in love’s image to be a love creator. Sometimes after negative experiences we forget this and need reminders. BeLovEd is a community that helps remind us of that through offering empathetic energy and compassionate creative support solutions in the areas of loneliness, pains, poverty, and education. Volunteers and supporters help with street outreach, meeting at people in need offering services, generating publicity about issues that are related to economic struggles such as homelessness and hold community events to act as a bridge between socio economic statuses.
