UNION, N.J. — Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. announced Friday that it will be making a $1 million product donation to the NAACP Empowerment Programs.
The donation will provide essential items to the organization and its charity partners, supporting Black communities impacted by COVID-19 and recent unrest across the U.S.
According to a news release, the company is making the donation as part of its recently launched "Bringing Home Everywhere" program, a $10 million plan that is providing essential home products to communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Like so many, we are appalled and saddened by the scenes we have witnessed and the continued violence and injustice against members of the Black community," said Mark Tritton, President & CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond. "We make this $1 million donation to the NAACP to support its extraordinary work for the community and its long-standing action to tackle racial discrimination in this country. Together, we will provide essential help to those communities hardest hit by recent unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic."
Since the "Bringing Home Everywhere" program was launched, Bed Bath & Beyond has donated essential home, infant, health and personal care items to Good360 and many of its 90,000 charity partners across North America.
