Help For Those In Need

“Therefore, as we have  opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”  – 1 Corinthians 16-14

Welcome to For The Love Of Others, where compassion meets action. Our mission is to provide essential resources to individuals and families in need, with a focus on food security. Through community-driven initiatives, we organize food drives, distribute meals, and support those facing hunger. Join us in making a difference—because no one should go to bed hungry.

Our volunteers are the heart of our organization. Whether you have a few hours to spare or want to commit long-term, your efforts make a difference.

A Message From the Founder

Lauren Puryear

Helping others has always been at the core of who I am. Whether through feeding families, providing essential resources, or simply showing kindness, my life’s purpose is rooted in love and service. For the Love of Others was born from that passion—a calling to make a real impact in people’s lives by meeting their needs with compassion, dignity, and hope.

This mission is deeply personal to me. It is inspired by my grandmother, Marion “Nana” Smith, whose generosity knew no bounds. She gave selflessly, always willing to share whatever she had to help someone in need. Her legacy lives on in the work we do, reminding us that love in action can change lives.

I believe that when we lead with love, we create a ripple effect of kindness, healing, and transformation. There are so many people who just need a helping hand to step into a better place—a place of stability, joy, and purpose. Through For the Love of Others, we have the opportunity to be that bridge.

I am grateful for every prayer, every donation, and every volunteer who joins us in this mission. Together, we can be the love this world so desperately needs.

In loving memory of Marion Elizabeth “Nana” Smith (1925-2012)
