Our Community 5% Days are another meaningful way we give back to our community. On designated days throughout the year a total of 5% of the day's net sales are donated to local non-profit organizations. Customers help support our selected organizations just by shopping on these 5% Days. If you would like to apply for a grant for our 5% Day, you can request an application from our Guest Service desk. Once you have completed the entire grant process, return it to the store for consideration.
