For years, Macy's has been an integral sponsor and key community partner in helping United Way of King County improve the lives of thousands of people. Macy's does an outstanding job of communicating the importance of community impact within its multiple store locations and at its Northwest headquarters in downtown Seattle.

We're honored to join forces with a company that is leading the way with its philanthropic and volunteer efforts by giving through workplace campaigns, volunteering in the community, and sponsoring United Way events.

Supporting and improving community is a core value for Macy's. Through its award-winning Partners In Time program, the company and more than 7,000 of its associates donate more than 16,000 volunteer hours at 200-plus projects each year. The program provides associates with opportunities that help develop leaders, build teams, celebrate diversity and foster pride.
