Crops of Luv

Crops of Luv was inspired in April 2007 when a little girl was granted a wish to Disney World to have a tea party with the princesses. Upon her return, a group of scrapbook enthusiasts created the biggest princess album ever! When the group realized the tremendous impact the album had on the child receiving the book, Crops of Luv was born. Since then, thousands of books have been created for every imaginable wish adventure.

Crops of Luv co-founder, Jody McNelis, works closely with Give Kids the World which serves 30 plus wish organizations in the U.S. and Canada. Give Kids the World Village is a 79-acre "storybook" resort in Central Florida fully staffed by volunteers. It is here that children with life threatening illnesses and their families are treated to weeklong, costfree vacations. Families are invited to take photos that document their trip and send them to Crops of Luv. Upon receipt of the photos, the Crops of Luv volunteers create a one-of-a-kind, personalized album for the wish child and family.

The mission of Crops of Luv is to create memory books for children and families that preserve their memories and dreams because a life documented is a life remembered. This complimentary service is supplied by donations of both supplies and time by volunteers. Currently, a core group of 50 volunteers throughout the Phoenix and Tucson area work to fill the numerous album requests each month. As of the organization grows, volunteers from around the U.S. and Canada are joining the team to help fulfill the many needs of the group.

Crops of Luv, a non-profit organization of Arizona, recently marked a new milestone. It completed over 2,700 memory albums for families with critically and chronically ill children. These books document each child's "wish that came true."
