Belk's Fall Charity Sale: Celebrating 20 Years of Community Giving

The season of giving is upon us, and what better way to embrace this spirit than through shopping that also benefits the community? Belk, a cornerstone retail brand in the Southeast, is all set to hold its annual Fall Charity Sale from November 13-15. This year marks a significant milestone as the event celebrates 20 years of giving back to local communities.

The two-decade journey of the Charity Sale has not only been about saving money but also about making a meaningful difference. Over the years, the initiative has evolved into one of Belk's longest-running community programs, effectively bringing together customers and nonprofit organizations with the simple yet powerful idea that every purchase can contribute to a cause and support local families.

During the Charity Sale, shoppers can access exclusive discounts by purchasing a $5 ticket. This ticket not only unlocks special savings on popular holiday gifts and essentials but every dollar from ticket sales goes towards supporting nonprofits close to the community. Participating in this event means customers are directly contributing to sustainable programs and services aimed at strengthening neighborhoods and addressing real needs.

How It Works

1. Get Your Ticket: Customers can buy a $5 ticket from a participating nonprofit or at any Belk store until November 15 (note that Belk Market and Belk Outlet locations are excluded).
2. Reserve Your Favorites: Before the actual sale, a pre-sale event from November 1-12 allows shoppers to secure select items.
3. Shop and Save: During the Charity Sale weekend from November 13-15, customers can redeem their ticket, receiving $5 off their purchases along with an extra 25% off select designer brands, many of which rarely go on sale.

CEO Don Hendricks expressed pride in the initiative, stating, “For the past two decades, Charity Sale has shown what's possible when businesses, customers, and nonprofits come together to support causes that matter.” Hendricks emphasizes that the event’s reach goes beyond shopping — it enables each ticket sale to contribute to vital community programs, benefitting over 6,000 nonprofit organizations to date.

The current season features more than 4,200 nonprofits benefiting from the sale, creating a diverse tapestry of community support across Belk's 16-state footprint. Whether shoppers are looking for gifts, seasonal items, or everyday products, they can feel good knowing their purchases have a broader impact for positive change in their neighborhoods.

Belk encourages all 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to participate in the Charity Sale. Those interested are invited to reach out to their local Belk store or visit the Belk Charity Sale Resources page for more details.
