Humanitarian & Faith Leaders

 

Denese Hall is a humanitarian leader, nonprofit executive, faith leader, and community advocate whose commitment to serving others spans more than two decades. Together with her husband, Curtis Hall, she founded Clothed With Love, Inc. (CWL) in 2001. Born from their shared passion for helping individuals and families experiencing hardship and devastation, Clothed With Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to changing lives through assistance provided with love, compassion, and dignity.

​

What began as a grassroots effort supported by family, friends, and colleagues in Bushwick, Brooklyn, has grown into a broader humanitarian mission serving individuals and communities locally and internationally. Through Clothed With Love, they have participated in outreach initiatives reaching communities in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, South Africa, Japan, Honduras, Jamaica and Trinidad,  reflecting their belief that compassion and service should extend beyond geographic boundaries.

​

Under their leadership, Clothed With Love has developed and supported initiatives addressing poverty, food insecurity, youth development, senior engagement, health and wellness, education, family support, and other critical community needs. Their vision is to continue expanding the organization's humanitarian footprint through strategic partnerships with civil society, faith communities, government, business, and international organizations.

​

Denese Hall brings to her humanitarian leadership approximately three decades of corporate experience with Merrill Lynch/Bank of America, where her work included process design, problem and incident management, integrated process development, testing, audit reporting, standard operating procedures, and systems implementation within Global Human Resources. Her extensive corporate experience has strengthened her ability to bring organizational discipline, strategic planning, project management, and operational leadership to the nonprofit sector. She was educated at Virgo Fidelis in London, England, and has continued her professional development through training in project management.

​

In addition to her humanitarian work, Denese Hall serves as Senior Pastor of Logos International Fellowship, where her ministry extends beyond the walls of the church through community engagement, humanitarian outreach, prayer initiatives, and collaborative service.

 

Curtis Hall, now retired, is a veteran of the United States Air Force who continued his professional career in private investigations and real estate. His commitment to service did not end with his military career. As Co-Founder of Clothed With Love, his dedication to serving others remains an integral part of the organization's mission and its commitment to communities affected by poverty and hardship. 

​

Now retired from their respective professional careers, Curtis and Denese Hall have entered a new season in which they can devote increased time, leadership, and resources to expanding the humanitarian mission they began together in 2001. Their growing international vision is focused on strengthening Clothed With Love's global humanitarian presence, developing sustainable partnerships, advancing community-based solutions, and contributing to initiatives consistent with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

​

Their leadership philosophy is grounded in a simple conviction: humanitarian service must not only meet an immediate need—it should restore dignity, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for lasting change.
