Staff Spotlight: Alex and Lori Love

“We have always enjoyed giving back, especially to deserving kids. We love the holiday season and knowing we are helping kids create lasting memories is incredibly rewarding,” said Alex and Lori Love.

Mitch Park YMCA staff members Alex and Lori Love are putting those words into action. Through their work with the Angel Tree program, they are helping families in need receive Christmas gifts this holiday season. From organizing donations to coordinating wish lists and supporting families directly, the Loves have dedicated countless hours to making the holidays brighter for many children and their families in our community.

Lori currently serves as a Group Exercise Instructor, while Alex works in Child Watch. Their shared commitment to service extends beyond their daily roles.

Lori first helped oversee the initiative while serving as the Health and Wellness Director, and the Love family has supported it ever since by providing gifts for two to three children each year. This is now their second year coordinating the program, and they do not plan to stop anytime soon.

Their dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Alex and Lori were recently recognized through KFOR TV4 and First Fidelity Bank’s Pay It 4Ward program for their generosity, commitment and the positive impact they make on the community every year.

We are so proud to have staff members like the Loves who go above and beyond to support families and spread holiday cheer. Their example reminds us of the power of giving back, not just during the holidays, but all year long.
