During the 2023-2024 Holiday Match season, over $2 million was raised by Stewart’s Shops to support local charities benefiting children.
Stewart’s Shops was able to support more than 1,800 nonprofit organizations and programs thanks to our generous customers donations.
To highlight the impact of the Holiday Match program, Stewart’s Shops is featuring some of the outstanding children’s programs that benefited from Holiday Match.
This week, Stewart’s is highlighting Girls Inc. This organization inspires all girls to be strong, smart and bold. Girls Inc. provides opportunities for girls to explore and try new things, participate in science, technology, engineering and math activities and explore what they may want to be when they’re older. The program serves girls in Albany, Troy and Schenectady.
The afterschool program takes place 5 days a week and offers homework help, mentoring and a free snack.
Diana Suits, Senior Director of Programs, explains that Girls Inc. serves 60-70 girls across the 3 areas.
It costs about $400 per month per students to fund the program.
The Girls Inc. has received more than $37,000 through our Holiday Match over the past 5 years.
