Stewart’s Shops, with locations in Ogdensburg, Massena, Heuvelton, Potsdam, Winthrop, Canton and Gouverneur, raised over $1.88 million for local children’s organizations during its 2020 Holiday Match program.
From Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day, Stewart’s customers donated $941,207 to the program. Each individual donation is matched penny for penny by Stewart’s Shops. There are no administrative costs and 100% of the funds benefit local, non-profit children’s organizations, the company said.
This year, the program collected $43,000 more than last year despite Covid and all of its challenges. Generous customers have helped raise nearly $32 million since 1986.
The company said 1,754 children’s organizations received funding from last year’s Holiday Match campaign. A listing of all the charities that received Holiday Match funding last year is available at stewartsshops.com.
All local children’s charities are encouraged to apply for funding annually from the program.
Organizations can apply online at stewartsshops.com through Jan. 31. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization. All the funds will be allocated in March, the store said.
