Supporting Communities

Please reference our FAQ page for the guidelines and timelines we use to evaluate requests for support.

Support from your Local Store

Your local Store Director may be just the person to talk to for a donation. Our stores are eager to be involved in what is happening in their communities, and they are equipped to help local organizations through gift card donations and volunteer support.

Keep the following in mind when requesting a donation at your local store:

Come prepared with a letter of request from your organization that includes your tax ID number.
Please request support from our stores at least a month prior to your event.
Allow the store up to one week to process your letter of request once it has been delivered.
One request per organization will be considered annually.
Gift cards and volunteers are the only form of support offered at store-level.
