Our Mission
We feed our neighbors in need and put real cameras in the hands of Miami's next storytellers.
Community first
We serve the city we live in, starting with the people most often overlooked.
Creativity as opportunity
Photography and video are real careers, and we teach them that way.
Nothing goes to waste
A camera on a shelf can change a kid's life in a classroom.
Show up every year
Consistency built the feeding event, and it will build this program too.
What we do
Our Programs
It started with one holiday meal. Now we're growing into a foundation that feeds our neighbors and helps Miami's next storytellers find their voice.
Coming soon
Youth Photography Workshops
Hands-on photography classes taught by working photographers, using real cameras.
Collecting gear now
Pass the Lens
Photographers donate the cameras, lenses and lights they no longer use, and our students put them back to work.

Our first year as a foundation
No one in our city should go hungry during the holidays.
For four years, Lovos & Friends has united volunteers, partners and neighbors to share a holiday meal with Miami's homeless. Last year we served 300 meals, and with your support we'll serve even more.
Bringing Miami together through a shared day of giving.
Pass the Lens Gear Drive
Upgrading your camera? Pass the lens.
Don't sell your old gear or leave it on a shelf. Donate it, and it becomes the classroom for a Miami kid who could never afford a $1,000 starter kit.

A look at the day
Many friends.
One shared purpose.
Lovos & Friends was never just us. Every holiday season, the businesses we work with, the clients we've grown with and our friends give a day to feed Miami's homeless. They cook, pack and serve side by side.
Ways to give
Every gift puts a camera in a kid's hands, or a meal on a neighbor's plate.
Your gift helps us serve more meals this December and get our youth workshops off the ground.
Give monthly. A small monthly gift keeps us showing up all year long.
