Close to Our Heart

In this episode, we’re talking about Ocean State Job Lot’s Close to Our Heart program, which is designed to empower store teams to connect to the community where they live and work, and give back in a meaningful way. Each store has a budget, and the associates in each store choose where that support goes. I wanted to hear more about some recent donations, and why they were chosen, so I talked to Store 259 - Weymouth, MA Team Leader Levi Garrett, who told me about a donation in honor of the Store Team Leader who was there before him, and to Area Supervisor at Store 312 - Manchester, CT Joanne Felici about some of their recent donations, and the reactions they get from recipients when they receive Ocean State Job Lot’s support.
