Love Bites with Jolt Credit Union
2026-02-14
This Valentine’s Day, we’re skipping the chocolates and roses and serving up something a little more…unconventional, with our friends at Jolt Credit Union. Introducing “Love Bites: Name an Ex, Feed the Zoo,” where heartbreak meets karma for a great cause!
Because let’s face it, Valentine’s isn’t just about love; it’s also about closure. And nothing says “moving on” like feeding your past to the critters.
Now through February 14, For just $5, participants can name an ex, no last names, because we’re classy-ish, and their donation will help us feed our bug-loving animals. Whether it’s a bird, reptile, or another adorable critter, an ex’s name will fuel the circle of life. Because, hey, some exes were just meant to be part of the food chain.
Participants will also get a certificate to commemorate their “act of charity.” They can frame it, post it, or just laugh knowing their past is helping feed the future. And the best part? Their ex’s name will live on in infamy on Jolt’s “Wall of Shame” that we are creating.
