MENOMONEE FALLS – As Oklahoma residents begin a costly
recovery effort following a major tornado this week,
Kohl’s Department Stores announced Wednesday that it is
donating $250,000 to the American Red Cross to help
deliver much-needed emergency supplies and services to
the tornado-impacted areas.
Kohl’s is also encouraging employees to volunteer with
the cleanup effort through its Associates in Action
volunteer program, according to a company statement. In
recognition of volunteer hours, Kohl’s will donate
corporate grants to the nonprofit organizations
supported by Kohl’s associates.
“We are deeply saddened by the devastation experienced
by those in and around Moore, Okla. due to the tornado
that struck Monday,” said Kevin Mansell, Kohl’s
chairman, president and chief executive officer. “It is
our sincerest hope that providing financial assistance
and volunteer service will be of help and support to
individuals and families as they work to rebuild their
homes, schools and communities.”
