Who We Are
Mission Statement
Our mission is to carry people through life’s most tender moments — grief, overwhelm, transition — with compassion, connection, and concrete support.
We deliver small acts of love with deep emotional impact: a Kindness Kit for a grieving family, a warm meal for new parents, a scholarship for a young woman with big dreams. These aren’t just services — they’re lifelines. They’re arcs of love.
Vision Statement
A world where every heart feels the warmth of kindness, the dignity of being seen, and the promise of brighter days — guided by the unifying arc of love.
Core Values
Compassion – We lead with empathy and genuine care for those experiencing life’s hardest seasons.
Connection – We build bridges between people, generations, and communities.
Resilience – Inspired by life’s rainbows, we believe hope can follow hardship.
Kindness – Small, thoughtful acts can shift the course of someone’s day—or life.
Legacy – We honor the lives before us by lifting those walking through it now.
How We Carry Out Our Vision
We create Arcs of Love across four core pillars:
Arcs of Comfort – for grieving families and isolated elders
Arcs of Care – for new parents and caregivers in crisis
Arcs of Opportunity – for young women in need of a path forward
Arcs of Action – for volunteers and everyday kindness leaders
Every one is a bridge from hardship to hope — and you can help build it.
About Me
Hi! I’m Lauren. I’m a mamma, a wife, a lawyer, and now… somehow… the founder of a nonprofit.
This isn’t something I built because I had extra time… in fact, I have almost no time at all! I built it because I needed it—at different points, in different ways—and it didn’t exist. So I made it myself.
The Arcs of Love Foundation came from grief, from love, from wanting to do something that felt real. It’s about showing up for people in the moments where they’re not okay and don’t have the words for what they need. I’ve been there, and I’m sure you have too.
I’ve also been the teenage girl trying to figure it out with no safety net. The brand-new mamma who couldn’t make it to the shower, let alone make dinner. The person writing the thank you note for a kindness that got me through something really hard.
So I built this—for those people like me. For the girls who need a chance. For the mums and dads who need a break. For the grieving families and the elders who feel forgotten. For the people holding more than they can say.
The rainbows? They’re for my boys—my miracles after the storm. The drawings? Also theirs. And while I’m the one typing all this, my husband is in it with me… every step of the way. He’s been my rock, and is always my number one fan. I love you, Adam.
This work is messy and meaningful and exactly what I’m supposed to be doing. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m glad we’re here, together.
—Lauren
