About Us
Founded in October 2007, the Lake Travis Labor of Love works to raise money and distribute contributions to projects that improve life by empowering women and their families in the greater Lake Travis area.
LTlov funds local projects/organizations each year by general membership vote through individual member donations to the Corporation and by sponsoring fundraising events.
LTlov is heading into our 3rd funding season following a busy summer sponsoring the Summer Lunch Program and co-sposoring the "PackaBackpack" school supplies drive. See news for details.

When we came together 2 years ago, the members of LTlov had a dream of improving the lives of disadvantaged Lake Travis area residents. That dream is alive and we look forward to another successful year of fun and funding.
For those who share that dream, LTlov might be just the vehicle to make a difference. Check Meetings or Upcoming Events for more information.
