Love Has a Home, Inc, is on a mission. A mission inspired from a need to address the daily negativity and intolerances that plague children, families, communities, and the world. A mission to promote love within the local community and beyond.

President and Executive Director the Rev Bill Donaldson says Love Has A Home was founded in a moment of inspiration during a daily commute.

“I began to notice a great deal of signage carrying anti-hate messages. While the intention was noble, the focus was on the very thing we want to eliminate,” he said. “I knew there had to be a more positive way to address the issue.”

In that moment, said Donaldson, the phrase “Love has a home here” came to him, and the Love Has a Home company was born.

Fast forward nearly four years, and that mission has evolved beyond what the reverend had ever imagined. The company, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, shares the message that through the power of love, a world of compassion, kindness, peace, and a healthy, thriving planet can be created.

Two years ago, Donaldson moved the company’s headquarters to Sticks and Stones Farm, at 201 Huntingtown Road.

“I knew we were heading in a new direction,” Donaldson said. “‘Love has a home’ was no longer just a tag line, but an actual place where we could embody our mission and offer so much more. It was then that I made the decision to enter seminary to become an Interfaith minister.”

Donaldson’s purpose, he said, was to build a faith-based community founded on the idea that love has a home everywhere, “because it is within us. I truly believe love can heal the world.”

Now as the spiritual director at Sticks and Stones, Donaldson will be offering interfaith/interspiritual worship services monthly on the second and fourth Sundays at 10 am. He plans to begin the 60-minute services on September 12.

“The fastest-growing religious demographic is those who consider themselves ‘spiritual but not religious.’ Love Has a Home embraces all spiritual paths that are founded in love, and offers a home for any seeker that falls into this category,” adds Donaldson. “We will explore various paths to the divine, not just philosophically but in practice as well.”
