Kohl’s Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) today announced a $100,000
cash donation in response to the recent tornadoes and severe
weather which caused widespread damage throughout much of the
Midwest and Southeast. Kohl’s is making this donation to the
American Red Cross which will deliver much-needed emergency
assistance throughout the affected areas, including Alabama,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio and
Tennessee.
In addition to a financial contribution, Kohl’s is encouraging
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
the devastation caused by the recent severe weather in parts of the
Midwest and Southeast. Kohl’s wants these families to know that we
are here to help,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice
president and chief marketing officer. “We are honored to be in a
position to provide financial assistance as well as volunteer
service to our valued customers, associates and area residents.
This disaster has been devastating and many are facing a long road
ahead. Kohl’s is dedicated to providing support along the way as
these resilient communities recover.”

youth-serving nonprofit organizations year-round. More than 500,000
