Oklahoma
City, OK – April 2020 / Newsmaker Alert / Love’s
Travel Stops & Country Stores recently contributed $100,000 to
the St. Christopher Truckers Development
and Relief Fund (SCF). The donation will help professional drivers
who can’t work due to illness or injury, which could be more prevalent
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 “This
donation reflects our belief that professional truck drivers are the backbone
of the U.S., especially during this challenging time,” said Jenny Love
Meyer, executive vice president and chief culture officer of Love’s Travel
Stops. “This contribution enables us to help drivers with immediate needs
when they are unable to work due to COVID-19 or other medical issues.”
SCF
is a nonprofit organization that helps professional drivers and their families
when an illness or injury causes them to be out of work. This fund helps
with expenses like rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance and vehicle payments.
“We
cannot thank Love’s Travel Stops enough for this generous donation. Professional
drivers are vital to our everyday lives, and it is humbling to see their
commitment. Even during this national pandemic, they are continuing to
deliver the essential supplies we all need,” said Shannon Currier, director
of philanthropy and development for the St. Christopher Relief Fund. “These
men and women are the heroes of the highway during this crucial time, and
we are honored to be here to support them when they need us most.”
