We believe that caring for our people, our planet and our communities is at the core of our values and underpins our long-term value creation. Chico’s FAS and our family of brands – Chico’s, WHBM and Soma – are committed to positively impacting our customers, Associates and the communities in which we live and do business through community service and giving back.
Our brand and corporate cause-related initiatives are focused on raising awareness and funds through local, regional and national partnerships. We support community-based philanthropic causes and disaster relief efforts by actively encouraging Associate volunteerism and customer philanthropy, like our Soma Bra Donations or WHBM’s Blue Jeans Go Green program. Our Chico’s FAS Cares Volunteer Days create moments for our Associates to help our communities and give back by donating time to support local charities.
Even at a distance, we have found ways to make a difference. We offer interesting and engaging opportunities for our Associates to give back through online service. Through thousands of volunteer hours, Chico’s FAS has supported several organizations that support these local communities, such as the United Way, LARC Inc. and Midwest Food Bank.
Did you know bras are the most needed, yet least donated, item of clothing for women? That’s why we created the Soma Bra Donation. Since 2010, we have collected over 2 million bras for women in need across the country.
In 2017, we partnered with I Support the Girls, an organization that helps women experiencing homelessness, victims of domestic violence, victims of sex trafficking, and evacuees affected by natural disasters. We continue our mission each year, and it’s because of our loyal customers that we are able to give back to so many.
