Ross Stores Inc., a retailer headquartered in Dublin, Calif, announced Jan. 13 that the company has pledged $850,000 of donations to local and national organizations, including the American Red Cross, United Way of Greater Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, providing disaster relief and recovery efforts associated with the California wildfires. These funds will help provide shelter, food, emergency supplies and rebuilding services for people affected by the ongoing disaster.

“We are committed to supporting our local communities, especially during times of need. We launched our off-price business in California about 43 years ago, and today it remains an important market for us with almost 500 Ross Dress for Less and dd’s DISCOUNTS® stores. In addition, we operate one of our major buying offices in Los Angeles, so this unfathomable disaster hits close to home. Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences go out to those who have suffered untold losses from these devastating wildfires,” says Barbara Rentler, Ross CEO.

Ross is also raising additional funds to help those affected by the 2025 California wildfires by accepting customer donations to the Red Cross from Jan. 16–26 at 139 Ross stores and 49 dd’s DISCOUNTS locations across Southern California. Individuals can also make online donations to the Red Cross at www.redcross.org.
