About Us
Co-Founders Jessica Tedeschi and Melissa Clark began their serving journey in the winter of 2016. As best friends and sisters in Christ, they joined together their passions for people and recovery to form nonprofit Project Love! What started out as a street level Christmas Give for our local homeless neighbors in Monroe, WA, has grown and continues to develop more efficient ways to serve marginalized populations in multiple counties. From the support of local churches and other private donations, Project Love 501(c)(3) teams up with multiple community resource providers, fellow nonprofits, and local municipalities to support, advocate, and provide resources to individuals or families in need.
Jessica brings her joy-filled personality, hopeful heart, and dedication to those in need of encouragement with her, as she shines the light of hope and love with everyone she encounters! She believes that God can radically change and restore anyone from a seemingly hopeless state of being. Jessica understands hardships, extreme loss, and doubt. She knows the value of hard work emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Her personal testimony speaks volumes to those in need.
Melissa, driven by her faith in Jesus, loves to help others experience the freedom found in living in the truth. She connects, communicates, and navigates a wide range of people, places, and circumstances. Her powerful message of empowerment can be heard in the darkest of places. Melissa’s life experiences of struggle, trauma, and other tough circumstances, helps her serve others that are still searching for a solution.
