Our Giving Programs
The Gift of Warmth
It’s our favourite holiday tradition. Every winter
season we donate warm winter coats and jackets to
Aritzia Community™ partners across North America.
It’s an effort to keep our communities — from coast
to coast to coast — warm at the coldest time of the
year.
To date, we’ve helped over 15,000 women and children through this initiative. We’ve got a lot of warmth to give.

Product Donation Program
We’re proud to donate product to Aritzia Community™ partners who help to distribute the clothing directly to people who need it most — supporting communities across North America, extending product life and keeping it out of the landfill.
Our Product Donation Program helps organizations like Union Gospel Mission (UGM) in their efforts to support unhoused women facing addiction in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Aritzia’s regular product donations go directly to women in UGM’s programs and supports their Repair to Wear program — an empowerment initiative that provides women with skills training, flexible work and community resources.

Aritzia Community™ Warehouse Sale Shop
We work with local Aritzia Community™ partners
to invite people from the communities they serve to
enjoy a complimentary shopping experience at our
renowned Warehouse Sale. To date, we’ve invited 1,000
participants to shop the sale, just in time for
back-to-school.
Heroes at Heart
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we created the
Aritzia Community™ Heroes at Heart Program to
recognize and thank 125,000 frontline healthcare
workers.
We invested $10 million to offer clothing packages for healthcare heroes as a gift of thanks. Each package was designed in response to the heightened sanitation standards and included easy-to-wear-garments for healthcare workers to change into before and after their shifts.
In 2021, Aritzia was recognized by Retail Council of Canada for the Excellence in Retail Philanthropy Award.
