Family Dollar joins Boys & Girls Clubs of America holiday campaign

ATLANTA -- Family Dollar is joining other retailers in rallying around Boys & Girls Clubs of America this holiday season.

Now through Dec. 31, Family Dollar will encourage their customers to give back to the non-profit. More than 4,200 Boys & Girls Clubs serve kids and teens across the United States.

"The holidays can be a joyous time of year but for many, especially those in need, this season can be difficult. We're grateful to our corporate partners who give generously throughout the year and during the holidays to enable more youth in this country and on military installations worldwide to achieve a great future," said Julie Teer, chief development and public affairs officer at Boys & Girls Clubs of America. "We also thank the thousands of customers including many Boys & Girls Club alumni, who will donate this holiday season to support a brighter and better future for millions of kids and teens."

Other participating companies include Bon Ton Family of Department Stores and Paypal.
