Associates Make the 2011 Holiday Season Brighter for Those In Need

January 19, 2012

Limited Brands wrapped up 2011 with the gift of giving.  Associates near and far had the opportunity to make spirits bright by granting wishes, feeding the hungry and lending a helping hand in their local communities this holiday season. 

Associates jump-started their holidays by donating $4.5 million to the United Way, bringing the total gift including the company match to more than $9 million.  But the giving did not stop there.  Associates from our home offices in the U.S. and Canada, as well as our retail stores across the U.S.; supported residents of domestic violence shelters in their local communities through our “Holiday Giving Tree” program.  During the month of December, more than 37,000 gifts were donated to children and families in need over the holidays. 

Limited Brands also hosted their annual holiday meal for their home office and distribution center associates in Columbus and Kettering, Ohio; New York City; and Rio Rancho, N.M.; where associates donated more than $21,000 (the equivalent of approximately 42,000 meals) to benefit local area food banks. In addition, associates made and donated over 200 fleece blankets to local area human service agencies
