The story of God’s Love We Deliver and its creation touches near and dear to me and is one that everyone should know. As a member of the Young Hearts Leadership Council, God’s Love plays an integral part in my life and identity. I love spending my time volunteering in the kitchen with my family, knowing that each meal we prepare will bring comfort and care to someone in need. Every time I step into that kitchen, I’m reminded that small acts of service can have an enormous impact on others.

Before my first time volunteering at God’s Love, I decided to visit their website and learn more about the organization’s history. What I discovered truly moved me. God’s Love was founded by Ganga Stone, a hospital volunteer who began delivering meals to people living with AIDS in New York City during the 1980s. Her compassion and determination grew into a mission that would eventually touch thousands of lives. The simplicity of her idea, caring for others through food, embodies the best of what community service can be.
Obviously, this story is touching to anyone, but to me, it is especially powerful. I have two dads who were both living as gay young men in New York City during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Learning that God’s Love was founded to help the very community that my parents belong to made the story feel incredibly personal. It connected my family’s history to my volunteer work in a deeply emotional way.
Every shift I spend at God’s Love feels like a small way to honor them, their community, and the resilience of those who came before me.

The story of Ganga Stone and God’s Love is one of empathy, courage, and action. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone, whether they volunteer there or not, should hear it. If I had known about Ganga’s mission earlier, I’m certain I would have begun working with God’s Love as soon as I could. It inspires me every day to act with love, gratitude, and purpose.
