Thanks For Giving Day

Thanks for Giving Day 2012

It is a day dedicated to you! We truly appreciate the thousands who are committed to LIVE UNITED here in our community.

Thanks for Giving Day is a unique collaboration of United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey in Atlantic County and Tanger Outlets, The Walk.

On Thanks for Giving Day, United Way supporters can go to The Walk and with their Thanks for Giving Day card, access a Tanger Discount book and enter to win a $100 gift card. Winners will be announced at the end of the day on Tanger's facebook page.

In response to the needs emerging from Hurricane Sandy, United Way and Tanger Outlets The Walk with the support of thousands of local donors, will kickoff a winter apparel drive at Tanger Outlets The Walk as part of Thanks for Giving Day on Monday, November 19.

They will utilize five $500 shopping sprees to begin a collection which will continue through the Holiday Season. Items include coats, hats, gloves, scarves and boots, which will be distributed to local families affected by Hurricane Sandy through The Salvation Army.

Tanger Outlets will continue the winter apparel drive through December 21 at Shopper Services located at 2014 Baltic Ave. (next to T-Mobile). The hours are Monday through Saturday from 10am to 8 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. Several stores have already begun donating items including Columbia Sportswear, Nike Factory Outlet, Reebok Outlet, Maidenform Outlet, and Tanger’s Management Office.
