Nov. 13, 2019: DSW has launched its first-ever DSWGives Do Good pop-up dedicated to giving back this holiday season. The shop features a digital destination as part of a larger campaign encouraging people around the country to Do Good with DSWGives all season. A physical pop-up will be open in New York at 498 Broome St. from Dec. 12-15. Instead of accepting purchases, it will allow visitors the opportunity to experience the positive impact of shoe donations and encourage them to bring new or gently worn shoes to donate, contribute monetarily, as well as get involved with DSWGives. National anti-bullying organization and DSW philanthropic partner Be Strong will also be there to show the power of a kind word to brighten someone’s day and inspire change. Those who are unable to visit the store can experience virtual elements at Dsw.com/philanthropy. In addition, DSW ambassador, actress, and writer Mindy Kaling is kicking off the campaign by hosting a preview event in Los Angeles and will be working with the retailer to encourage people to give back all season through the initiative.
