Kohl’s Donates $100,000 to the American Red Cross for Flood Relief Efforts in Texas and Oklahoma

Kohl’s Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) today announced a $100,000 cash donation toward flood relief efforts in Texas and Oklahoma. Kohl’s is providing this donation to the American Red Cross, which is delivering much-needed emergency supplies and services in the 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 additional corporate grants to the nonprofit organizations being supported by Kohl’s associates.

“Our hearts go out to all the families and communities impacted by the devastating flooding which occurred in Texas and Oklahoma,” said Bevin Bailis, Kohl’s senior vice president of public relations and communications. “We are honored to be in a position to provide financial support and volunteer efforts to the many communities in need as they recover and rebuild their homes and neighborhoods.”

Kohl’s Associates in Action volunteers help a range of youth-serving nonprofit organizations year-round. Through the Associates in Action volunteer program, more than 1 million associates have donated more than 3.2 million hours of their time since 2001, and Kohl’s has donated nearly $100 million to the nonprofit organizations served. This program is part of Kohl’s overall philanthropic platform, Kohl’s Cares®, which is committed to supporting children’s health and education initiatives nationwide.
