Oklahoma
City, OK – November 2021 / Newsmaker Alert / Love’s
Travel Stops is thanking those who have served in the military by donating
$150,000 to Operation Homefront
and by offering them a food and drink deal on Veterans Day. The donation
will come from the sale of special edition Operation Homefront tumblers,
combined with a gift from the company. Operation Homefront is a national
nonprofit whose mission is to build strong, stable and secure military
families so they can thrive in the communities they’ve worked so hard to
protect.

“This
is just a small way to say, ‘thank you’ to our veterans and current military
members on Veterans Day,” said Jenny Love Meyer, chief culture officer
and executive vice president of Love’s. “We’ll continue to find ways to
support Operation Homefront for the life-changing work they do.”
On
Thursday, Nov. 11, veterans or current members of the military can get
a free roller grill item and fountain drink or coffee with the purchase
of one roller grill item at participating locations. Additionally, when
customers purchase a 24-ounce, special edition Operation Homefront tumbler
throughout the month of November, $5 from the sale will go to the organization
while supplies last.
“Veterans
Day is a perfect time to thank our military and veteran families for their
dedicated service to our nation,” said Brig.
Gen. (ret.) Robert Thomas, chief operation officer of Operation Homefront.
“We are excited to partner with Love’s to provide a way for Americans to
show their support of this very special and deserving group of our fellow
citizens and help us give them the opportunity to thrive in the communities
they have worked so hard to protect.”
Operation
Homefront provides critical financial assistance, rent-free housing, caregiver
support and recurring support programs throughout the year to help military
families overcome the short-term bumps in the road, so they don’t become
long-term chronic problems. Ninety percent of Operation Homefront’s expenditures
go directly to programs that help military families.
