Welcome to LUV
We are a membership based organization, believing in second chances, and helping others. LUV is complicated, but simple. We LUV Veterans and assist Veterans and those in need with administration and sponsorship of the LUV program. We provide membership into three programs with LUV. Your donation and membership fees help spread the LUV.
We are not political based, nor faith based.
We are not a faith based organization, but use Bible based beliefs in some curriculum in our program, for both historical and scientific teachings.
You have several options to help us.
Volunteer - help us with volunteer outreach! Contact us to learn more.
Our Board has created a "wish list" for us on the wish list tab. You can contact us directly on the "Contact Us" form for donated items, or send them directly to P.O. Box 451, Salado, Tx. 76571.

We all have a common goal - to help others, while preventing Climate Change and implementing UAS and robotic technologies throughout America.
