COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Lots, Inc. (OTC: BIG) announced today the successful completion of its annual "Sample Sale Charity Pull," where over $50,000 worth of home furnishings and essential products were donated to eight local nonprofit organizations. This impactful semi-annual event took place at the company's distribution center in Columbus, Ohio.

The Sample Sale Charity Pull allows selected nonprofits to "shop" sample items from Big Lots. This year, the company donated eight truckloads filled with a variety of products, including furniture, bedding, kitchenware, and home décor, all aimed at improving the lives of those in need within the community.

Participating local nonprofits were selected based on their commitment to serving vulnerable populations, including homebound seniors, families dealing with childhood cancer, and survivors of human trafficking. Big Lots associates volunteered their time to assist representatives from these organizations in selecting the most appropriate products for their clients.

"Our founding values drive us to make a big difference for a better life. It's especially meaningful to support our local nonprofits both here in Columbus Ohio, the surrounding areas and beyond. I want to extend our gratitude to our partner organizations for their inspiring work, as well as to our associates and volunteers for making this event a remarkable success."  said Bruce Thorn, president and CEO of Big Lots.

The nonprofit organizations that participated in this year's charity event include:

Julie Cohen, Volunteer Coordinator at Jewish Family Services, expressed her appreciation for the donations, stating, "Thanks to the Charity Pull, we can provide our newly arrived refugees with household items for the remainder of the year. It's such a gift for families arriving in our country to have clean, new items. Our resettlement program would not be thriving in the same manner without Big Lots."

In addition to the on-site Sample Sale Charity Pull event, Big Lots associate volunteers extended its commitment to community support by selecting and donating sample product home furnishings to Vista Village, Columbus's first tiny home program aimed at helping individuals experiencing homelessness achieve stability. The company also partnered with The Furniture Bank of Central Ohio to furnish homes for families in distress due to homelessness, domestic violence, and other crises.
