Who We Are

About LipGloss
for Love

Founded in Dallas, Texas, we are a nonprofit dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence through education, awareness, and compassionate support.

Our Story

How It Started

LipGloss for Love, Inc. was born from a personal understanding of the impact domestic violence has on families — especially children. Our founder recognized that survivors needed more than crisis intervention; they needed education, community, and tangible support to rebuild their lives.

What began as a grassroots effort in Dallas has grown into a multi-city organization serving families across DFW and East Texas, providing both therapeutic services and practical parenting supplies to those who need them most.

The name "LipGloss for Love" symbolizes the beauty and dignity that every person deserves — no matter what they've been through.
