Watch Love Grow

The Valentine’s Day Widow Outreach Project was established in 2021 in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the driveway of Founder Ashley Manning's home. The first year we delivered flowers and gifts to 121 unsuspecting Widows in our community on Valentine's Day. Our goal was to remind them that they are loved and not forgotten. Over the past five years we have served thousands of Widows in the Charlotte area and beyond. While this ministry continues to grow, we have identified another group within our community that we can serve by showing them love in their grief. Watch Love Grow was born in 2025 as the overhead non-profit to support our broader vision. Within this nonprofit we have different events throughout the year to serve people by showing them love. The Valentine’s Day Widow Outreach will commence in February 2026 and A Mother’s Love launched for the first time in May 2025.

 

​As our project grows, so does our need.  As we approach both Valentine's Day and Mother's Day we will open the links to nominate a widow or a bereaved mother as well as volunteer opportunities. As we prepare for 2026 we ask that you would consider making a financial donation to help support our efforts. 

Our mission is to love and serve our community and show these women that they are not forgotten on a day that can otherwise be very painful.
