Kohl’s Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) today announced a $250,000 cash donation toward Hurricane Irene relief efforts. Kohl’s is providing this donation to the American Red Cross, which is delivering much-needed emergency supplies and services in the hurricane-impacted areas.

In addition to a financial contribution, Kohl’s encourages its associates to volunteer in support of cleanup efforts through its Associates in Action volunteer program. In recognition of volunteer hours, Kohl’s will donate corporate grants to the nonprofit organizations being supported by Kohl’s associates. 

“Our hearts go out to the families and communities that were impacted by the devastating flooding and severe destruction resulting from Hurricane Irene,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “We sincerely hope that by providing financial assistance and rallying our associates to volunteer, we can provide much-needed support to our customers, associates and residents along the East Coast.” 

Kohl’s Associates in Action volunteers support a range of local nonprofit organizations year-round. More than 400,000 associates have donated more than 1.3 million hours of their time since 2001 as a result of this program, and Kohl’s has donated more than $38 million to nonprofits throughout the nation. The Associates in Action volunteer program is part of Kohl’s overall philanthropic platform, Kohl’s Cares®, which is committed to supporting children’s health and education initiatives in communities nationwide.
