Faith communities are an underutilized resource in the fight against America’s biggest societal problems. That’s the driving ethos at Love Has No Limits, a volunteer movement that’s helping connect faith communities with nonprofits to create high-impact solutions to issues like poverty, homelessness, and the child welfare crisis.

Led by Dominic Russo and Jedidiah Thurner, Love Has No Limits believes that the missing ingredient of many effective anti-poverty solutions is passionate people who want to make a difference. The good news? Places of worship are full of them. What’s been lacking, however, are concentrated efforts to connect these communities with nonprofits that share similar values and goals.

Love Has No Limits is helping to foster those connections. After a year of behind-the-scenes collaboration, the organization launched a massive campaign called One Day LA, a major goal of which was to help close child welfare cases and connect children in need with foster or adoptive families. The successful results demonstrate how bottom-up solutions can outperform some of the top-down strategies that have been failing American communities for decades.
