“Costco and Red Cross Donations for Japan”

   Hi,

   I called member services for Costco and they are unaware they are matching at this time. I called a local store and they did said they are taking donations at the register to forward to the red-cross but not matching at this time.

   Where did you get your matching information?

   Thanks.

   Clinton – Hmm. Well, I shop at my local Costco here in Hillsboro, OR, which just happens to be the largest Costco in the USA. The way the lady behind the register made it sound as if “Costco” at large doubled donations. Perhaps it was that one specific location. Can anyone confirm the policy at their local Costcos?

   I am a Costco employee and Costco IS NOT matching donations for the Red Cross Disaster Relief Efforts. The company DOES match for United Way and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals which is probably where the confusion came from. On behalf of all Costco cashiers, I apologize for the confusion!

   Thank you for clarifying! Perhaps my checker was just wrong. If so, *sadface*

   Regardless, donate for Japan!
