VS&Co Celebrates Giving Tuesday 2023

This holiday season and beyond, we’re honored to use the power of our platform and products to help women and young adults in need across the country through our donation program, VS&Co Essentials.  

This year, Victoria’s Secret and PINK are donating 10% of proceeds from all Pajamas on November 28th to I Support the Girls, contributing to the non-profit organization’s mission of collecting and distributing essential items to people experiencing homelessness, impoverishment, or distress.  

Spotlight on The VS&Co Essentials Program 

Since August 2022, this initiative has been dedicated to supporting women and young adults in need across the country by providing them with quality, necessary undergarments. The program’s mission is simple: impact one million people by 2025—and we are well on our way.  

Last Giving Tuesday, thanks to our customers, we donated $518,097—helping I Support the Girls expand their impact by aiding an estimated one million people through the distribution of over two million menstrual products, 500,000 Bras, one million Panties, 1.5 million toiletries, and more.  

Get to Know I Support the Girls 

The Maryland-based non-profit organization collects and distributes essential items to those in need—including new bras, underwear, and menstrual hygiene products. But that’s just the beginning, they also provide programming, partnership opportunities, and beyond. 

“I wanted to make sure no woman could do without menstrual products or a bra at any point of need in her life. Dignity is dignity.” – Dana Marlow, Founder
