The World Needs More Love Letters Turning this space into a place where strangers write love letters to one another and we all get a letter when we need it most. So come on in. Get involved.

The World Needs More Love Letters began in October 2010 on a 4 Train in New York City. A girl experimented with her own Loneliness and tapped into something much larger than herself through 400 love letters. The things she found to be true:

A) No matter how tough we act, we all still need a love letter from time to time. B) Even in a world crammed tight into 140 characters and constant status updates, there is a still a great craving for the handwritten note. C) Everyone defines the term “love letters” in their own way. Better we take the word from its confines and let it run free. D) The world needed far more than just her own love letters. It is that girl’s hope that The World Needs More Love Letters will be a nook within this worldwide web where individuals can pin their progress and pathways to spreading more love through the handwritten note. Not only to people they know by name, but to strangers they have never met who could use a reminder that they are doing “just fine” in the world today. Through, requesting, sending, leaving, and writing the love letters, this site won’t ever stop asking these questions to its visitors:

Could you script a letter of love to someone you will never meet? Is there someone in your own life who could use a love letter? Where could you leave a love letter today? Follow us but also be a leader in your hometown, campus, church or city. But don’t come in without a pen…

Pure shock and surprise to find out that we were featured in The New York Times Good List today! 🥹

We’re in The New York Times Good List!

We’ve been so lucky to have our story featured in so many beautiful publications over the years, but The New York Times was always the one that hadn’t happened yet. It was the dream I kept close to my chest.

And then today, while scrolling through new reader emails, I discovered that one of our writers had shared her story of writing love letters with us in the Good List. A total pinch-me moment.

Thank you to everyone in this community who helped make this happen. We are so, so grateful.

And if you found us after reading the Good List: welcome! We’re so thankful you found our little corner of the internet. 🤍

This is it. This is exactly why we do the work that we do every single month. Period.

It’s for stories like Houston’s.
