The Team Member Love(TML) Program, originally called the Family Fund, continues to provide eligible Team Members financial support when they experience natural disasters or other emergencies, including floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, cyclones, illness, death, accident, or other types of personal injury.Grants from the Team Member Love program are not intended to replace personal income, home, auto or medical insurance, federal disaster relief or other types of aid. Instead, Team Member Love grants are to assist in an immediate and short-term basis when other sources of assistance are not available.The Team Member Love Program is made possible by generous donations from Popeyes Franchisees, Suppliers, and employees.
