In this inspiring episode of Nonprofit Spotlight, we sit down with Michelle Connors, the passionate Founder and Executive Director of Rustic Love, a grassroots nonprofit making a powerful impact in Northern Virginia. Michelle shares the heartwarming story of how a simple idea—selling charming, handmade heart signs—blossomed into a vibrant community movement helping fight food insecurity.
With over 100,000 people in the Vienna community facing food insecurity, Rustic Love has become a symbol of hope and support, especially for children in local public schools. Michelle opens up about the organization’s humble beginnings, the creative spark behind the iconic heart signs, and the heartfelt stories of lives changed through their mission.
Discover how you can get involved, donate, or proudly display a Rustic Love heart of your own—and become part of a growing community that’s leading with compassion and action.
Tune in and be inspired to spread love, one heart at a time.
