How they are participating

During the holidays, giving to the communities where we live and work is top of mind. As so many of our coworkers, families, friends, customers and community members have been affected by Sandy, getting involved in our communities this holiday takes on new meaning.

Through the American Red Cross, Gap Inc. has donated clothing and money of more than $1 million to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts and we are committed to the long-term recovery of impacted areas.

In addition, Gap has a new gift card program (http://gap.us/Td6Mhi) where a percentage of all initial gift card purchases will be donated to two nonprofit organizations—CARE and Communities In Schools.

Athleta’s “Power of Giving” holiday campaign celebrates the gift of empowerment (http://bit.ly/V4c0AF) by leading a donation drive to benefit Girls on the Run, a national non-profit encouraging a healthy lifestyle in pre-teen girls through running.

Together, through #GivingTuesday and our collective efforts we look forward to giving back this holiday season.
