The retailer is donating to nonprofits dedicated to family health
Kohl’s is getting into the holiday spirit by donating $3.2 million in grants to more than 300 nonprofits dedicated to family health and wellness across America.
The department store giant’s second annual National Giving Program was announced Tuesday and offers associates an opportunity to support charitable causes and organizations in their respective communities with grant nominations.
“Once again, we asked our associates to identify the nonprofit organizations that are near and dear to their hearts,” said Michelle Gass, Kohl’s chief executive officer. “We are thankful to honor those who work diligently to support the health and wellness of children and families nationwide.”
“On behalf of the entire company, we are honored to celebrate and support this group of deserving organizations that are addressing vital needs in communities across the country every single day.”
