        Our U.S. Fulfillment Centers participated in their own landmark giving programs to support local charities as well as their featured
        site charities. Several Florence team members participated in the Angel Tree program, which delivers donated Christmas presents
        from imprisoned parents to their children. The team sponsored 60 Angels for the Angel Tree, and donated over $4,200 to the
        Salvation Army.

        The Lancaster team set up donation boxes for the Toys for Tots campaign. The team was also a sponsor of the Humane League’s
        100th Anniversary event, which helps prevent cruelty and animal homelessness in the area.


        The Ontario (CA) Fulfillment Center collected over 200 toys for Spark of Love, an annual charity event that the City of Ontario
        coordinates with the network of southern California fire stations, KABC Channel 7, and the U.S. Marine Corps. The donations were
        given to needy families in surrounding communities by the Ontario Fire Department.

        The Rocky Mount team sponsored a bake sale to benefit their local Angel Tree. In addition, they sponsored 41 angels and stuffed
        24 stockings for the Salvation Army. They also held a food drive, collecting and donating canned goods that helped create
        Thanksgiving meals for those in need.


        The Suffolk team donated $5,000 to the Salvation Army Food Bank, and collected 1,936 cans of food for local families. Suffolk’s
        Community Affairs team sponsored a QVC polo shirt and fleece jacket sale for team members as part of a Partners in Giving
        campaign. Proceeds benefited the site’s feature charity, the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters. Suffolk team members
        also donated three boxes of toys to Toys for Tots. This included 21 bikes and 12 bike helmets from members of the Automation
        Department, who saved spare change to pay for the items. The Suffolk team also stuffed over 110 stockings for the Salvation Army
        Stuff-a-Stocking Drive.

        U.S. Contact Centers in Chesapeake and San Antonio developed their very own Give Joy initiatives. Chesapeake team members
        collected Christmas baskets and gift bags for the senior residents at Jamestown Commons in Virginia Beach, a local retirement
        community. The team also held a Coats for Families drive, and raffled off gift baskets with proceeds going to the Children’s
        Hospital of the King’s Daughters. The San Antonio team surprised the Children’s Shelter with a donation of 250 new toys
        and a check for $5,000. The team also held a food drive, donating 200 holiday hams to the Soldier’s Angels Mobile Pantry,
        and sponsored an on-site Blood Drive.


        West Chester team members adopted 291 local seniors, children, and families, providing over $12,000 worth of holiday gifts.
        These were donated to the Pocopson Home, a local long-term care facility, and the Department for Children, Youth & Families.
        QVC also hosted the annual West Chester Christmas Parade, attended by 45,000 people. Program Hosts Dan Hughes and
        Jennifer Coffey emceed, and were joined by fellow Program Hosts Mary DeAngelis, Mary Nelson, Stacey Stauffer, Mary Beth Roe,
        David Venable, Dan Wheeler, and Kristine Zell. Our Production teams were on site to capture footage for live interviews during
        the Friday night broadcast, and recorded the parade in full to air on QVC over the holidays. Attendees enjoyed the interactive
        QVC tent at the Parade, which featured yummy treats, our very own QVC Singers, and even a photo with the big guy himself—Santa.
