Our Mission

"I have always trusted a faith-based passion of answering the call to meet a need within the community. Smile Stars meets a great need that many individuals have by being positive, encouraging and supportive while also challenging the boundaries of selfless service. Our Smile Stars family embraces the faith-based philosophy that says ‘actions speak louder than words.' The desire to return blessings, to count others as greater than oneself, to understand the power of gratitude in one's personal walk, and to selflessly sacrifice, is what fuels the energy and fulfillment of the Smile Stars family. The most joy-filled spirit that overcomes me personally is when I get to witness the genuine, unconditional love for one another at Smile Stars."  -Dr. Steven Ripple
