Monthly Charity

Thank you for helping us give back to those in need in our community!

Our community is important to us and through the years we have supported local charities and causes. In late 2009 we decided to take this even further and actively support a specific charity each month. Gilles matches your in-store donations dollar for dollar, and 100% of the monies we collect go to the charity. Due to the generous contributions from our wonderful and caring customers and those from Gilles, this program has been a terrific success.

If you have a suggestion for a charity for us to highlight, please let us know by using this link. When choosing a charity we focus on those that help people directly and have administrative costs of 10% or less.

The Monthly Charity for March is Aurora Zilber Family Hospice. Find out more about their great work at https://www.aurorahealthcare.org/locations/aurora-zilber-family-hospice-wauwatosa.
