We use art to "love on" people.

For Love & Art stimulates art appreciation while empowering caregivers (including volunteers) to love people in creative and transformative ways. People who want to share art and what art provides - mind, body and soul - for the sick and infirm are invited to join us as we share museum masterpieces with senior communities and eligible healthcare venues.

We partner with the community outreach programs of nearly two dozen great museums - including The Met, AIC, NGA, DMA, KAM, and so many others and "visit" the museum and showcase the masterpieces on big screen TVs at senior centers and other venues.

Volunteers don't have to know about the history or style or study of art; volunteers do, however, have to be able to engage people to share their experience while viewing the artwork. What do they think of this picture? How does it make them feel? What else do they want to say? Good conversation skills - especially generosity in listening - are valued. Let people tell you a thing or two about the artwork and what it means to them.

Fear, loneliness and boredom transform into beauty, joy and magic of life! Bringing the Art Experience to people is uniquely fulfilling as a volunteer. Indeed, "Courting the Art Experience" in this manner enriches people's souls...starting with our own!

Every Monday for 1 hour
11am – 12pm

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO BE A HERO! PFP utilizes their horses in a variety of ways to help individuals with special needs overcome their challenges via hippotherapy, vaulting, independent riding, and on the ground activities among others. Volunteers are needed DAILY, primarily for leading the horses and sidewalking with the riders.

Although there are many breeds of horses to use, PFP uses quarter horses due to their quiet disposition, and varying sizes. There are only a couple of exceptions - our Shire, Rupert, who weighs about 1,800 lbs (don’t let his size fool you...he really loves kids); our 2 Haflingers, our 2 mini donkeys, and our 2 mini goats.

Along with the everyday programs, PFP also has some show teams. There is the Special Olympics team that travels to the state meet every fall, and the NSBA team which travels regionally to some top AQHA shows, as well as the world show in Tulsa, OK. The program is always changing and could only benefit from having new people join!

So, come be a HERO to someone with special needs and make some new friends as well!
