About National Love People Day

National Love People Day is observed on September 30 and promotes showing unconditional love and practical kindness to people in the community.

Lifeline Church first-party material says church leaders founded the observance in 2017, and the dedicated organizer site continues to use September 30 annually.

Why National Love People Day matters

The observance grows out of Lifeline Church’s community-outreach mission and calls for acts of care across social, racial and other differences.

Although its origin is religious and church-led, the public campaign invites participation from communities, businesses and individuals more broadly.

History of National Love People Day

Lifeline Church’s biography of Pastor Reggie Royal says he and church leaders founded National Love People Day in 2017 and that it is celebrated annually on September 30.

The dedicated National Love People Day site continues to identify September 30 as the annual date and preserves an origin page describing the 2017 proclamation.

An organizer press release dated September 30, 2018 says Lifeline Church founded National Love People Day in 2017 and notes that the National Day Calendar Registrar proclaimed the annual September 30 observance.

The reviewed first-party text does not conclusively label September 30, 2017 as the first public celebration, nor does it explain why September 30 was originally selected.
