Big Lots will honor veterans and active military members throughout November with exclusive discounts, recognition of veteran associates and partnerships with national nonprofits dedicated to supporting military families. In partnership with Stop Soldier Suicide and Children of Fallen Patriots, Big Lots will launch a point-of-sale donation campaign, allowing customers to donate at checkout and receive $5 off a purchase of $15 or more. To date, The Big Lots Foundation has donated $7 million to veterans' charities across the country.
"As a company that values service and sacrifice, we are honored to support our veterans and active military members," said Big Lots CEO Bruce Thorn. "Through these discounts and partnerships, we hope to express our deep appreciation and offer meaningful support to those who have served our nation. I would also like to thank our associates who are veterans or currently serve in the military; their dedication inspires us."
From November 8 to November 11, Big Lots will offer veterans and active military members an additional 20% off in-store purchases. Throughout November, Big Lots will also highlight the stories of its veteran and active military associates both online and in stores, celebrating their service and contributions. These November incentives complement Big Lots' year-round 10% discount through its "Always On" BIG Rewards program, ensuring continued savings and support for veteran military personnel.
"The unwavering commitment of companies like Big Lots empowers us to deliver critical, life-saving services to the veterans and service members who are at the highest risk for suicide, making a profound difference in their lives," said Kathy Kauffmann, Chief Development Officer, Stop Soldier Suicide. "Their support is vital in our ongoing mission to reduce military suicide, ensuring that those who bravely serve our country receive the care and assistance they need and deserve."
