Stewart’s Holiday Match Update: Over $1.3M Going to Local Children's Charities So Far

SARATOGA COUNTY —The Stewart’s Holiday Match Program is a true community effort with Stewart’s Shops doubling every customer gift. Customer donations have reached $650,945 through Thursday, Dec. 15. That’s over $1.3M with the Stewart’s match so far. Collection days run through Sunday, Dec. 25.

The Stewart’s Holiday Match Program has no administrative fees and donates 100% of donations received to charities in their market areas. Stewart’s Shops matches each donation penny for penny and dollar for dollar and has been doing so for the past 36 years, raising over $34 million for local charities. These donations stay local and support local nonprofits; funding may go to a little league team, a local food pantry or an arts program at the library. Each week, a different Holiday Match recipient is highlighted. 

Holiday Match funds are collected from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day in each of the 357 shops. Local children’s organizations are encouraged to apply for funding online. The deadline for submission is Jan. 31, 2023. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization. Applications as well as a list of all local organizations that received funds last season is available online at www.stewartsshops.com/holiday-match/holiday-match-overview.
