OUR EXCITING NEW INITIATIVE

Pillars of Light and Love is a non-profit located just outside Collegeville Pennsylvania in the borough of Trappe. Launched in 2015 by local well-known REALTOR, Kathy Opperman- who is also a licensed Registered Nurse and Certified Life Coach- the main focus of the non-profit is Stress and Life Management for ages 5 to adult. Our goal is to teach children, teens and adults to reduce stress, have strong self-esteem, overcome anxiety and depression and bullying. Through support and programs, we help build confidence to achieve better coping techniques, positive communication skills, and healthy relationships.  When people are able to handle the stuff of life, we believe it will help to avoid addiction, self-harm, anxiety, overwhelming sadness and depression. 

We offer over a dozen free ongoing support groups plus programs for ages 5 to adult,  as well as youth empowerment programs like Julia's Joy Tween programs, Encouraging U and Discovering U Teen programs, Community Kindness Projects, Tom's Warriors, Andy's Angels and our Julia's Joy Voice Idol Competition. Feel free to explore our site for details on each tab of our site. 

In November of 2022, we opened the So Much to Give Inclusive Cafe, at 3401 W Skippack Pike, in Cedars, PA. The mission of the Cafe is to provide a welcoming & inclusive Cafe to empower all, including those with disabilities & their families, to have equal opportunities to work, dine, socialize, volunteer & learn.
