Love Matters

Empowering Youth & Families Through Community

Love Matters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization rooted in the belief that every young person and every family deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported. Through transformative events, retreats, and community gatherings, we create spaces where lives are changed.

Our Mission

We exist to strengthen individuals, youth, and families by building authentic community, fostering personal growth, and providing meaningful experiences that inspire lasting change.

Who We Serve

Love Matters serves youth, men, and families in our community who need connection, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. We believe that when individuals are strengthened, entire families and communities thrive.

Our Programs & Events

🙏 Men Matter Retreat

Our signature retreat is a powerful weekend experience designed to help men pause, reflect, and reconnect — with themselves, their purpose, and their community. Past participants describe it as life-changing, leaving with renewed clarity, deeper relationships, and a stronger sense of identity.

🏀 Basketball Tournament

More than a game — our tournaments bring youth and families together through healthy competition, mentorship, and team-building. It's a place where young people find confidence and community on and off the court.

🎄 Christmas Breakfast for Families

Every year, we open our doors to celebrate families with a warm holiday breakfast. No one in our community should feel alone during the holidays, and this event ensures they don't.

Our Impact

• Hundreds of lives touched through retreats, tournaments, and community events
• Men rediscovering purpose through the Men Matter Retreat
• Families strengthened through connection and shared experiences
• Youth empowered with skills, mentorship, and a sense of belonging
