What is LoveLocal?

Whether it’s feeding teachers at a local school, hosting a free movie night, paying for people’s groceries, gas, laundry at local establishments, or partnering with local organizations to create an impact - we’re passionate about wrecking Salinas and it’s surroundings with God’s love through being irrationally generous.

We believe that people are encouraged and changed through love. What if a person's first interaction with Venture was not an invitation to come to a Sunday morning experience, but an act of love shared with them for no reason at all? Throughout our community, we want people to experience God’s love through the people of Venture with no strings attached.
