In addition, Cristina and Jon Palmatier, District Vice President of Kohl's presented a check for $10,000 to benefit The Dream Center, a non-profit organization based in Southern California, whose mission is to transform the lives of those facing homelessness, poverty or hopelessness. The Dream Center offers opportunities and resources for at-risk youth, low income individuals and families to reach self-sufficiency by providing assistance in the areas of substance abuse, education, job training, food, clothing, after-school programs and health care.
The donation was made by possible by the Kohl's A-Team program, which encourages associates to volunteer their time to a youth-serving non-profit organization. Each team of five or more Kohl's associates that volunteer a minimum of three hours receives a corporate grant of $500 from Kohl's, which is donated to the non-profit organization. In 2006, approximately 16,000 Kohl's associates volunteered more than 57,000 hours, which helped Kohl's donate more than 1.2 million dollars to youth organizations.
