Does Talbots offer any other special programs or assistance to its customers and the communities in which they reside?
Talbots believes it has a social obligation to the communities in which it conducts business. In 2001, Talbots formed the Talbots Charitable Foundation to support its philanthropic objectives. To this end, Talbots Charitable Foundation supports non-profit organizations that benefit civic and cultural activities, social welfare, health and education services. In addition, Talbots associates can typically be found participating in over 1,000 community events each year, including road races and walk-a-thons benefiting such organizations as The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, The American Diabetes Association and The American Cancer Society. To further encourage associate participation in such events, Talbots provides donations to match associates’ money-raising efforts.
