Our Mission

To be a community that reflects the radical love of Jesus by loving and helping one another.

A Community of Helpers

Our Story

In 2017, a group of neighborhood women saw a need for meaningful ways to serve with our children. From this need, the Love Your Neighbor Club was born. We began helping a local school that housed a portion of our community’s refugee children. As relationships and needs grew, so did the number of families wanting to help. In 2021, Ellie Lebron founded Radical Love, as a way to bring more families in our community together to help one another.

Our Work With
Children

Through relationships with local schools and housing complexes and shelters, we help meet the growing needs of children in our community. We organize collections for school supplies, snack bags filled with food for long weekends, books, winter gear and Halloween costumes. Opportunities for families, neighbors and groups exist to help fill these needs.

Our Work With
Refugee Families

Our biggest program, “Friendship & Learning” happens in the summer. We bring together resettled refugee neighbors, coming to practice a skill and make new friends, with volunteers that help in many ways. Everyone brings their children (we provide childcare, a kids program, and a place for children with special needs). Throughout the year, we host “meet-ups” to keep relationships growing.

Our Work With
Senior Citizens

Radical Love has a special partnership with a low-income senior citizen facility in North Aurora. We send volunteers there 2-3 times per month (for 2 hour time slots) to help unpack food delivered from a local food pantry. Volunteers set up food and help senior citizens do their shopping. Ages 6 and older.
