Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF) today announced their partnership
with World Vision, a global humanitarian organization dedicated to
working with children, families, and communities to tackle the causes of
poverty.
Abercrombie & Fitch began working with World Vision in 2013 and
contributes to the organization’s Gifts in Kind program. This
allows A&F to donate unused and undamaged product to people in need. In
2013 Abercrombie & Fitch sent over $2 million in product. A&F has
committed to donate product valued at over $3 million during 2014 and
looks forward to a long-term relationship with World Vision.
“We are inspired by World Vision’s dedication to providing aid for
children and families in need and want to do our part to give back,”
said Shane Berry, Vice President of Sustainability for Abercrombie &
Fitch. “Our ongoing partnership with World Vision is a great opportunity
for A&F to lend our support to this terrific cause.”
“World Vision has already received a large amount of quality product
from the Abercrombie & Fitch brands and we look forward to working
together to improve the lives of children around the world,” said Jeff
Fields of World Vision. “We know these donations will have a lasting
impact in the communities we serve worldwide.”
This partnership is part of A&F’s overall philanthropic commitment to
give back and make a positive impact in communities around the world.
