BJ's Wholesale Marks 40 Years With New Giving Program

In celebration of its 40th anniversary, BJ’s Wholesale Club is launching its Give 40 for 40, which will award a total of $1 million in grants to local charities. BJ’s team members will nominate the organizations, and grants will be awarded by the BJ’s Charitable Foundation.

The wholesale club invited its 34,000 team members to recommend charities they care most about, in areas of hunger relief, education, and health and wellness. Selected charities will receive grants of up to $50,000, supporting BJ’s purpose of “taking care of the families who depend on us.”

“For 40 years, BJ’s Wholesale Club has been committed to taking care of families in the communities where we live and work,” said Bob Eddy, chairman and chief executive officer of BJ’s Wholesale Club. “Our $1 million giving program supports the charities our team members are deeply connected to, continuing our proud legacy of making a positive difference in our communities.”

Team members have nominated an incredible range of charities that have helped families and communities through difficult times. Organizations selected for Give 40 for 40 grants will be notified later this year.
