Stewart’s Holiday Match is a 501c3 foundation; all donations are tax-deductible. Stewart’s accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only matches individual donations. Local children’s organizations can pick up an application throughout the holidays at any Stewart’s Shop; or apply online at stewartsshops.com. The deadline for submission is Jan. 31.<\/p>\n
All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization. A brochure listing all the organizations in the 30 county area that received funds last season will also be available in all Stewart’s Shops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
