MISSION STATEMENT: To provide service to the Coachella Valley and around the world during these challenging times. We have volunteers who are trained to "listen" to provide support, empathy, and encouragement. Loving Listeners of Light creates a sense of community by asking for donations in the form of money, gas cards, food, or a good deed. The money will go to paying for expenses to maintain the program and to assist those who need it in the community. In addition, food, gas cards and other gifts will be distributed back into the community. If a person cannot offer any the above then they will sign a "Good Deed Card" and mail it back to Dance In The Light Spiritual Center. They will agree to "listen" to someone else, take them to the doctor, assist with repairs, babysit or any other way they can help another individual or pet.
VISION STATEMENT: Loving Listeners of Light seeks to support, encourage, assist individuals who are in need of emotional, physical and spiritual support. Loving Listeners of Light was created to encourage community support, love, and Non-Violent Communication around the world.

FROM GLORIA MARGARITA KMIR TV
We are running stories about children helped by the local Shriners this Thursday and Friday. I have such a heart-warming story to share.. One little boy I interviewed particularly touched me.. He’s a 7-year-old boy from Mecca with no arms and legs. I was asking him if we could get footage of him reading a book and he told me he didn't have any books. His dad is a farmworker and they are barely making ends meet, and they can’t even afford books. Hence, the KMIR 6/Shriners International Book Fair was born. Here’s what’s going on…
