For the second year in a row, Macy’s, Inc. colleagues spent Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 21) giving back.

Imagine skipping a cancer screening because you didn’t have enough money to fill your MetroCard, or missing a chemotherapy appointment because you couldn’t afford child care that week. Cancer affects everyone – but not everyone has access to cancer care. In partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Macy’s and Ralph Lauren are working to change that.

Watch as Macy’s and Clothes4Souls distribute 35,000 brand new coats to those in need.

This Giving Tuesday, the international day of giving around the holiday season, we will celebrate the way that we give back from the inside out – the North Star Relief Fund.

This holiday season, Macy’s invited customers to give back by participating in The Big Give Back: Buy A Coat & We’ll Donate One program benefitting Clothes4Souls.

As part of The Big Give Back, colleagues across the nation participated in Give Back Days. Here’s a look at some of the ways we showed up for our communities this August.

At Macy’s, Inc., giving back is a core component of our culture. We strive to have a positive impact on the communities we serve and we’re committed to supporting the Las Vegas and Parkland, Florida communities as they continue on their journeys to recovery.

More than 300 young women, ages 14 to 23, learned firsthand that when you look good, you feel good – especially when staying within budget with help from Macy’s Backstage!

In times of need, the first question a Macy’s, Inc. colleague asks is: What can I do to help? This month, we’re answering that question with the introduction of the North Star Relief Fund.

Thoughts from our Chairman and CEO, Jeff Gennette, about our Macy’s Salutes Those Who Serve campaign, and how we can work together as a company to support America’s veterans.
