St. Paul, Minnesota-based supplier Storm Creek (PPAI438091, S6) reports that it contributed a record $50,002 to charity in 2019. The giving total includes more than $40,000 donated to participating charity partners during its Annual Warehouse Sales in October and November, as well as $10,000 to 1% for the Planet. Storm Creek also gives countless product/in-kind donations to local and national emergency assistance programs throughout the year.
Funds raised during the Annual Warehouse Sales go to more than 25 charities through Storm Creek’s Shop for a Cause Program, which was launched to allow shoppers to give back to those in need.
“Shop for a Cause has become the foundation of our warehouse sale, making it a truly unique experience—it’s the reason people keep coming back year after year,” says Storm Creek CEO Teresa Fudenberg. “The program allows customers to shop, save and give by using a coupon for the charity of their choosing. They get $10 off their order of $50 or more, and we give 10 percent to the selected charity. This year’s goal was $35,000, and it’s amazing to see how our community rallied to surpass that.”
