Responding to Urgent Community Needs
Disasters
Natural disasters impact the lives and livelihoods of our Associates, Customers, and neighbors each year. In times of need, we want to support affected communities and help them recover from the devastating impact of these events.
In 2023, the Ross Stores Foundation was a proud member and supporter of the American Red Cross Disaster Responder Program. Our support through the program ensured the Red Cross was ready to provide immediate care and comfort to those experiencing hardship. The Red Cross responds to an average of more than 65,000 disasters of all sizes each year in the U.S. Our donations helped enable the Red Cross to meet the urgent needs of disaster survivors and assist them in rebuilding their lives.
In recent years, the Ross Stores Foundation has donated to American Red Cross Disaster Relief, powering the organization’s response efforts for victims of hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, floods, and more. In 2023, Ross helped the Red Cross respond quickly following the Maui wildfires, Typhoon Mawar in Guam, and hundreds of other disasters, big and small.
To respond to the major impact of the Maui wildfires, we invited Customers in our Hawaii Stores to donate to the Red Cross at the register and join us in supporting neighbors in need. Our Customers donated generously, contributing greatly to the swift response to the devastation.
