We Love Giving Back

At Love From USA, giving back is at the heart of everything we do. From empowering youth and mentoring small businesses to building strong relationships with local vendors and supporting nonprofits through volunteering and financial donations, we are committed to making a difference. Our holistic approach to community engagement ensures a meaningful and lasting impact on the communities we proudly serve.

These efforts are inspired and driven by Patricia, whose leadership reflects her deep dedication to creating positive change. As a 100% woman-owned, family-run, and certified Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) minority business, Patricia is honored to lead Love From USA in building stronger and more vibrant communities for all.

ElevateAir

ElevateAir is an ACDBE mentorship program developed out of a first-hand need when Chinander opened her first airport location 10+ years ago. This program has succeeded in New York with the Port Authority of NY/NJ and in Denver with its Business Development Training Academy. ElevateAir connects less experienced business owners with a more professional group, increasing the chance of success by 300% and accelerating the learning process. We offer hands-on support in key areas such as operations, finance, and leadership development, filling critical skills gaps and fostering long-term business growth, alongside an active partnership where we contribute capital, operational experience, and opportunities for local small businesses to participate in airport ventures.

Second Chance

Second Chance is a mentorship program designed to help at-risk youth and is active in 2 markets across the United States. In April 2025, Love From USA will launch Love From Felicity at O’Hare International Airport in partnership with the Felicity School. Through this collaboration, Felicity students will receive part-time employment, training, and support to help them secure jobs post-graduation. In this initiative, Felicity students are responsible for creating menus and packaging the food, while Love From USA manages the operation of the kiosk at O’Hare International Airport. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will be donated back to The Felicity School to further support their mission and programs.
