Stewart’s customers have helped raise over $2 million as part of the 2023 Holiday Match program which aims to support local children’s charities. 

According to Stewart’s officials, customers donated over $1 million between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day this year. 

With the company match, hundreds of nonprofit children’s organizations will benefit from the $2 million that will be distributed, officials wrote in a press release. 

Those funds will be distributed over the next few months to assist communities in need throughout New York and Vermont. 

Even during uncertain economic times, our customers continue to amaze me with their generosity,” said Stewart’s Shops chief operating officer Chad Kiesow. “Stewart’s is a sharing company and clearly so are our loyal customers.”

To date, the Stewart’s Holiday Match program has raised more than $38 million. 

The program first began in 1986. 

Officials with Stewart’s say 100% of all donations are re-distributed to the community because Stewart’s does not charge any sort of administrative fee. 

Last year, the program benefitted 1,939 local nonprofit children’s organizations.

Stewart’s is accepting applications for Holiday Match funds through Jan. 31. Organizations can apply online at stewartsshops.com. All applicants must be a locally based, 501c3 charitable group that benefits children.

More than 600 organizations have applied for Holiday Match this season. All funds will be distributed by the end of March.
