My Nonprofit Reviews

I began volunteering with For Love & Art in the spring of 2024 and I have to say that this organization is truly wonderful. Attending presentations and seeing how the seniors light up while looking at the art is inspiring.

The Art Angels work hard to engage attendees in meaningful conversations in which they can recall memories (great for improving cognition). Additionally, attendees can strike up conversations amongst each other - this helps build strong community bonds with those they live with.

While my personal opinion can show a glimpse of how great this program is, I think the words of attendees are the best indicator of its importance.

After each presentation I attend, I have the pleasure of talking to some of the attendees and asking them what they think about the presentations. Here are some quotes I have gathered over the past few months:

"It gives me something that I look forward to every month... This is the best program that we have."
"I left a doctor's appointment early to be here - that's how important it is to me!"
"We don't get to get outside much so it's fun to feel like we are visiting different places."

Visual enrichment is not the sole purpose of For Love & Art. It is not far-fetched to say that the seniors in our community are facing a quality of life-crisis. For Love & Art provides cognitive engagement, an improved sense of well-being, and relief from stress and depression symptoms.

I truly believe this is one of the most wonderful nonprofit organizations in the DFW area.
