San Francisco, CA - Marshalls will celebrate more than a decade of work to stop domestic violence when it holds its annual Shop 'Til It Stops day on Thursday, October 7. This is the eleventh consecutive year that Marshalls will donate a percentage of the day's sales from all its stores to the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF). The money raised by Shop 'Til It Stops provides critical support to the FVPF's work to prevent and raise awareness about domestic violence. Shop 'Til It Stops has raised nearly a million dollars to date.

"Marshalls is proud to continue supporting the Family Violence Prevention Fund's groundbreaking work to stop domestic violence and teach the next generation that violence is wrong," said Marshalls spokesperson Jennifer DeBarge-Goonan. "Abuse is an issue for our employees, our customers and our communities, and we will continue doing all that we can to keep women and children safe."

One of the nation's leading off-price family apparel and home fashion retailers, Marshalls is a positive example in the business community in working to improve the corporate response to domestic violence. In addition to Shop 'Til It Stops, Marshalls has partnered with the FVPF on numerous other programs, including employee education about domestic violence.

"Marshalls stands alone among our nation's retailers in its long-term commitment to stopping domestic violence. The company is an extraordinary model for other businesses on this issue," said FVPF President Esta Soler. "Our work with Marshalls has given a tremendous boost to the Family Violence Prevention Fund's work to help women and children live free from violence."
