Kohl’s Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) today announced a $150,000 cash donation toward Hurricane Isaac relief efforts in Louisiana and Mississippi. 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 impacted by severe weather and aftermath of Hurricane Isaac,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “We are confident these communities will recover from the damage and are honored to be in a position to provide financial assistance as well as volunteer service to our valued customers, associates and area residents.”

Kohl’s Associate in Action volunteers help a range of youth-serving nonprofit organizations year-round. More than 500,000 associates have donated more than 1.6 million hours of their time since 2001, and Kohl’s has donated more than $47 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 nationwide.
