Dollar General carries its commitment to serve others deep into the communities it calls home and
into the world. When a history-making tsunami struck Southeast Asian villages in late 2004, Dollar
General reached out to thousands by funding efforts to help children displaced by the storm. When
disaster struck closer to home with the force of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Wilma,
Dollar General again reached out to help the recovery effort. In 2005, we launched an employee assis-
tance fund to help co-workers cope with the loss of an immediate family member or the loss of their
home.We also helped fund the American Breast Cancer Foundation’s financial assistance efforts for
uninsured or underinsured individuals in need of breast cancer screenings or treatment. And, as we
have for years, we reached neighbors in our operating area by supporting local programs that offer the
life-changing gift of literacy. In 2005 alone, we touched more than 88,000 lives through Dollar General
Literacy Foundation grants and our in-store learn-to-read referral program.
