About Us
A 501(c)(3) Rooted in Freehold, NJ
Love of Humanity, Inc. (d/b/a Humanitas et Caritas Amoris, Inc.) is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity producing warm, editorial family-education content about the people, places, and civic life that make Monmouth special.
Under the leadership of Director Val Kleyman, we focus on three things: family education, legacy giving and wealth stewardship, and arts & civic patronage on the Jersey Shore.
We partner with local institutions to produce co-branded reports, ebooks, a weekly podcast, and story-driven articles — and we also run LocalJobs, a free contractor network that links families with vetted local professionals.
What We Do
How We Serve Monmouth
