Over the past two years, the power of kindness in our communities has become more palpable than ever. And our Aerie fam (that means YOU!) is a constant source of inspiration for us at Aerie thanks to your endless positivity and kindness.
Helping out is relevant year-round, but especially so during the holiday season, when we gather together to celebrate our loved ones and communities. To honor the importance of sharing kindness, we’re proud to partner this season with Feeding America® in order to help in the fight to end hunger.
Founded in 1979, Feeding America is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Through a network of 200 food banks, the organization provides food for 40 million people at risk of hunger, including 12 million children and 7 million seniors. Last year, AE & Aerie and our customers donated a total of 15.8 million meals to Feeding America to support people in need across the country.
Now through 11.14, in honor of World Kindness Day on 11.13, every AE & Aerie purchase will provide 5 meals to individuals in need through Feeding America. Want to give even more throughout the season? You can donate a dollar at checkout in-stores or online now through 12.24! Each dollar donated provides 10* meals.
Kindness takes so many forms and can be shown in so many different ways. Aerie fam, let us know how you’re honoring World Kindness Day this year in the comments!
*$1 helps to provide at least ten meals secured by Feeding America® on behalf of local member food banks.
UPDATE: Since this campaign started, your support has helped us surpass $1.9M in funds donated! Your donations will help provide 19M* meals through Feeding America’s food bank network. Plus, our meal donations through Food Banks Canada were over 706K! Thank you for all your generous support, Aerie fam. It takes all of us together to make a difference.
