Filling Critical Basic Needs Through Warm Meals, Clean Clothing, & a Safe Place to Sleep

In our communities around the world, many families find themselves unable to meet their basic needs. At TJX, we understand the importance of a warm meal, clean clothing, and a safe place to sleep. This is why we are passionate about supporting nonprofit organizations that help fill these critical basic needs for vulnerable families.

Since 2015, our U.S. retail chains, which today include TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, and Homesense, have teamed up each Thanksgiving season for an in-store fundraising campaign to support families in need of food assistance during the holidays. In Fiscal 2025, through this campaign, funds from our U.S. Foundation and customer donations were provided to Feeding America for distribution to 200 food banks. According to Feeding America, this translated into an estimated 28 million meals served to those in need. Through this campaign and other global efforts and partners, TJX helped provide 32 million meals to those in need in Fiscal 2025.

TJX has supported Operation Warm, a U.S. nonprofit that serves children in need through the gift of brand-new, high-quality coats and shoes, since 2003. Through Associate volunteer events and donations from The TJX Foundation, TJX continues to support Operation Warm to act on its mission of providing emotional and physical warmth, confidence to socialize and succeed, and hope for a brighter future through basic need programs and community resources for underserved children. In Fiscal 2025, across 16 events throughout the U.S., TJX Associates helped to provide coats to roughly 7,000 children in need.

Since 2019, TJX Canada has supported women in their communities through its charitable initiative, Find Your Stride®. As part of its efforts, TJX Canada has partnered with organizations working to help remove the complex barriers women may face in securing economic independence, including providing basic needs like clothing and safe housing.
