To help with the massive relief efforts in earthquake-devastated Haiti, employees and customers of The Markets raised $7,325 over a two-week period last month.
Through an innovative partnership with the Western Union Foundation (which has services in several of our stores), a one-for-one match was made, resulting in a total of $14,650. This donation was made to the American Red Cross's Haiti Relief Fund. Customers and team members made donations at the time of checkout, and gave generously.
The Markets thank the Western Union Foundation for the opportunity to receive a match, and maximize the donation of hundreds of customers in Washington.
