Touching Miami with Love (TML), a cornerstone of faith-based community support in South Florida, proudly announces its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of hope, opportunities, and resources for children, youth, and families. Founded in 1995, TML has been a beacon of transformation, empowering the most vulnerable communities in Overtown and West Homestead through faith-driven programs that nurture education, leadership, and spiritual growth.
As part of this milestone celebration, TML is launching a year-long campaign to commemorate 30 years of impact, featuring community events, fundraising initiatives, and powerful stories of transformation. The celebration kicks off with the TML 5K Run on April 19, 2025, at The Underline’s Urban Gym, bringing together supporters, partners, and families to raise awareness and funds for the organization’s mission.
“For 30 years, Touching Miami with Love has been more than a nonprofit—we’ve been a family to those who needed it most,” said Trina Harris, Executive Director of TML. “This anniversary is not just about looking back on our impact but also looking ahead to the next chapter of service, faith, and transformation in our community.”
