Because sometimes instead of reading, you feel like writing.

ONCE UPON A TIME

In October 2010, Hannah Brencher began writing & leaving love letters all over New York City to ward off the loneliness and depression that ambushed her after graduating from college. Knee-deep in student loans and desperate to know her “place in this world,” Brencher’s letter writing efforts grew a platform on her blog after she made a promise to the internet: If you emailed her a snail mail address, she would write you a love letter. No questions asked.

One year and 400 love letters later, The World Needs More Love Letters was born. Founded in September 2011, More Love Letters is a community of over 20,000 passionate individuals from across 49 different countries who take to leaving love letters all over their communities and mailing letters to strangers in need.

OUR MISSION

The World Needs More Love Letters is an organization lifting, empowering, and mobilizing individuals through tangible acts of love.

OUR LOVE LETTER TO YOU

The world doesn’t need another website. It doesn’t need another app or a network.

What it needs is really basic. Simple. Bare-boned.& often forgotten in the race to get followers, likes & status.

LOVE. Pure, old-fashioned, never goes out of style Love. Ridiculous, oozing, cannot pack this thang into 140-characters kind of love. Fearless, bold, unstoppable love.

AND THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN, SUGAR.

We’re going to tell you that we leave love letters all over the world for others to be blessed by. We’re going to ask you to help us contribute to Love Letter Bundles for people you’ll probably never meet but psstt…. they need your words & wisdom today.  We’re going to invite you to nominate someone you know for a Love Letter Bundle.

You are going to think we are a bit crazy. A tad loopy… But let’s be honest,  you’ve been looking for a website that leaks love all this time.

FAIR WARNING, WE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT LOVE LETTERS.

We’re only interested in you. The cracked parts of your own story & how you can use them to lift someone else. It’s about how each of us can morph our lives into love letters… lamps… lanterns… to light the paths of others who needs kindness and love today.

It’s official. Now, more than ever, the world needs more love letters. So get involved. Check out the current letter requests. Join our subscriber list to never miss a beat.

Your cursive means the world to us.

How amazing is this library?  I’ll admit, when I first saw it, my first thought was “a library-slash-skate park? Indoors? Awesome!”  I’m kind of surprised the shelves weren’t taller, emphasizing the Mountainous Terrain theme. But I like the idea of throwing a bunch of pillows in there for sitting or laying around reading.
