At Charming Shoppes, we feel it's our responsibility to give back to the communities we serve. This philosophy is demonstrated through various initiatives designed to better the lives of women and children, offer help to those in need, inspire community spirit and truly make a difference.
Keeping Kids Warm
Having warmed hearts and lives for many years, the Keeping Kids Warm program finished its fourteenth exciting season of giving in November 2009. The program is part of Charming Shoppes' ongoing effort to give back to local communities. The Company, in conjunction with its vendors and suppliers, donates coats and winter accessories to elementary-school children in need. To date, Keeping Kids Warm has donated 135,000 new coats and winter accessories to children in need at schools all across the country. In 2010 Keeping Kids Warm will be visiting schools in Columbus, OH; Detroit, MI; Indianapolis, IN; Minneapolis, MN; and Philadelphia, PA.

Partnering with Others Who Care
Charming Shoppes is committed to demonstrating its ongoing partnerships with non-profit organizations who share the same goal of supporting members of the community. We are currently active supporters of the American Diabetes Association, the Police Athletic League of Philadelphia (PAL) and The United Way Organizations of Bucks County, PA and Franklin County, OH to name a few. Charming Shoppes is also active in providing funding for disaster relief efforts such as the Hurricanes in 2005, the 2004 Tsunami, and the 2010 earthquakes in Haiti.
