Volunteer Program
Building on Kohl’s commitment to
Associates and their communities, the
company’s new Associate Volunteer
Program encourages Associates to
volunteer as teams to support local
non-profit organizations that enrich the
lives of children in their communities. In
addition to the volunteer time contributed
by Associates, the organizations also
receive a matching grant from Kohl’s.

Kohl’s Cares for Kids®
Kohl’s expanded its commitment to community
involvement and kids with the nationwide launch of
its “Kohl’s Cares for Kids” program in 2000. As an
extension of the company’s focus on families, the
multi-faceted program is designed to improve the lives
of children in the communities Kohl’s serves.
Supporting Children’s Hospitals This program features special seasonal
merchandise, with all profits being donated to children’s hospitals in Kohl’s
local communities. More than 1.3 million items were purchased through
these promotions in fall and holiday 2000.
Fundraising Gift Cards A second component of “Kohl’s Cares
for Kids” is a fundraising card program. Schools and
non-profit youth organizations sell special “Kohl’s Cares
for Kids” gift cards, with up to five percent of the total
purchase price going back to the community youth
organization.
““Kohl’s Kids Who Care™” Knowing that kids, too, have an
important role in making their communities a better place, the
“Kohl’s Kids Who Care” program recognizes and rewards kids who
contribute to their communities in special ways. Customers can nominate a
special kid for recognition and awards, ranging from a $50 gift card for
store-level winners to post-secondary education scholarships for regional
and national winners.
Kohl’s focus on kids includes
working with local children’s
centers. Enjoying a recent
