COVID-19 Response

During the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, Ross has been committed to supporting our Associates and neighbors in the communities where we operate.

We quickly took action at the onset of the pandemic and continued to respond appropriately through 2021 to prioritize the safety and well-being of our Customers and Associates, as noted in the “Empowering Our Associates” section.

In 2020, the Company and the Ross Stores Foundation jointly pledged $1.5 million in donations to local and national organizations providing essential COVID-19 relief services, as well as additional support to our Associates during these challenging times. In 2021, we added to that effort by donating an additional $3.5 million worth of personal protective equipment, like hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, and disposable face masks, to nonprofit partners and other local organizations.
