With LOVE, MJ was established in 2021, but has been in the heart of its founder Melissa A. Johnson since 2006. It was during that time, while working in Job Development that she learned the importance of collaboration with other agencies to provide resources and support services to clients in need. There was one client in specific that had recently become unemployed due to her high-risk pregnancy that needed information for housing/utility bill payment assistance and food banks. When Melissa asked co-workers if there was a database or directory of community partners or organizations clients could be referred to, she was given a huge packet of poorly xeroxed papers. The stack of papers listed several places that could assist but most of them were no longer in operation. It was in that moment that she decided to dedicate time to learning about and connecting with other service providers throughout Philadelphia to better serve the public.
Melissa A. Johnson, affectionately known as “MJ,” is a humanitarian that has served as a social services professional for over 15 years. MJ has worked in several Pennsylvania Department of Human Services program offices, including Workforce Development, Childhood Development & Early Learning, and the Office of Income Maintenance. She is also a Community Organizer, Youth Advocate, Mentor, and panel member for the District Attorney’s Office of Philadelphia Youth Aid Panel, a Juvenile Diversion Program.
