The 35th Annual Stewart’s Holiday Match campaign kicks off on Thanksgiving Day and runs through Christmas Day at local shop locations in Brasher, Canton, Gouverneur, Harrisville, Heuvelton, Massena, Ogdensburg and Potsdam, and other stores statewide.

The program supports nonprofit organizations impacting children.

Last year, customers donated an incredible $895,000 statewide to the program, doubling to more than $1.88 million with the Stewart’s match.

The funds were able to support 1,715 local children’s organizations across the 32 counties where Stewart’s Shops are located.

“Nonprofits are strained now more than ever with so much need, this means every donation can make a difference. Holiday Match is so successful because of our customers’ generosity and their money goes twice as far because we match each donation penny for penny,” said Stewart’s Shops President Gary Dake.

Local organizations impacting children are encouraged to apply for funding online at https://www.stewartsshops.com/holiday-match/holiday-match-overview/ beginning on Thanksgiving day.

The deadline for submission is Jan. 31, 2022.

All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization.

A listing of all the local organizations that received funds last season is available online.
