Gap Inc. Donates More Than $1M Worth of Clothing to Aid Ukrainian Refugees

This message was sent to all Gap Inc. employees.

Our hearts are with all those directly and indirectly impacted by the tragic events in Ukraine. With a reported 2 million people fleeing the violence and suffering in the region—most of whom are women and children with little more than the clothes on their backs—Gap Inc.’s brands will make a collective in-kind donation of more than $1 million worth of women and children’s clothes to the UNHCR for communities in need.

We are also encouraging employees to contribute company-matched donations to USA for UNHCR, CARE and the International Rescue Committee.

As a values-led company, one that is proud to do the right thing over the past 53 years in business, at this time, we have also suspended deliveries to Russia, where we have a small franchise presence. We also have a handful of franchise locations in the Ukraine, which are currently closed, and we are working through our partner to account for the safety of those employees.

To learn more about our employee donation-matching program, visit bewhatspossible.com and check out our partners USA for UNHCR, CARE, and the International Rescue Committee who are currently responding either on the ground or are equipped to support refugee resettlement for Ukrainians.

Together, we’re proud to send love and warmth to Ukraine.

What Does a 16% Decline in Magazine Ads Mean for the Industry?

Let's be honest, although many attempt to do so, there is no way to find a positive spin to the data in this industry-wide report showing magazine ads down another 16%. As an industry, we have seen negative numbers every year for a decade. Were you expecting a change? Newsstand sales of magazines have plummeted at least 50%, and periodicals run through the USPS have dropped 55% and diminish each year. Meanwhile ad sales, as seen in this report, continue on their long decline seeking a yet undiscovered plateau. We have seen associations use sleight of hand to try to change the subject and use illusory metrics, like “likes” instead of real data that show magazine growth. Has that helped? We have seen pundits declare that all is well and that print will live and be prosperous forever. Neither of those are helpful as a solution nor a recognition of the situation at hand.
