Our Founder, Dana Bricker
Founder & Executive Director, CareLove Ministries
Dana Bricker is the Founder and Executive Director of CareLove Ministries, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing hope, healing, and practical support to individuals experiencing homelessness. Dana’s passion for this work is deeply personal—having experienced homelessness himself in 1994, he understands the struggles, pain, and isolation that come with life on the streets. His journey from homelessness to healing has fueled his life’s mission: to help others find a way out and build a better future.
Since overcoming his own challenges, Dana has dedicated his life to serving those in need. In founding CareLove Ministries, he created a compassionate and supportive community offering food assistance, clothing, detox and rehabilitation connections, sober living opportunities, and emergency shelter support. Under Dana’s leadership, CareLove has grown into a trusted resource that helps individuals not only survive but thrive.
Dana’s firsthand experience gives him a unique ability to connect with the people CareLove serves. His hands-on approach and unwavering commitment have transformed countless lives and inspired partnerships with local organizations, faith-based groups, and government agencies.
Today, Dana continues to advocate for those experiencing homelessness, sharing his story to bring hope and awareness. When he’s not leading outreach efforts, he mentors individuals in recovery, supports volunteers, and speaks to communities about compassion, resilience, and second chances.
