Love's Marks 10 Years of Share the Love Event
OKLAHOMA CITY — On Valentine's Day, Love's Travel Stops celebrated the 10th year of its annual Share the Love event by donating $110,000 to nonprofit organizations across the country on behalf of its more than 39,000 employees.
Additionally, 300 Love's employees in Oklahoma City and 40 Trillium Energy and Musket employees in Houston spent the day volunteering at organizations in their respective areas.
"Giving back is at the core of Love's culture, whether at our corporate offices or the more than 600 locations throughout the country," said Jenny Love Meyer, chief culture officer and executive vice president of Love's.
