Stein Mart Give & Receive Event to Boost Lagging Salvation Army Clothing Donations

Nationwide Event Offers Shoppers Chance to Get Fresh Fall Fashions At a Discount While Helping Neighbors in Need


ADVISORY, Sept. 29, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


 WHO:    Stein Mart shoppers give of themselves to help others during
         economically difficult times; Salvation Army volunteers
         receive and pack gently used clothes for transport to Army
         Thrift and Family Stores.

 WHAT:   Customers are encouraged to bring clean, gently used garments
         in good condition to any Stein Mart store during the Give &
         Receive event.  For each item donated, contributors will
         receive a coupon for 20% off any item (up to four coupons per
         person). Donated apparel will help replenish The Salvation
         Army's Thrift and Family Stores, many of which have reported
         as much as 20 percent decreases in donations over the past
         year.  All proceeds from the Thrift Stores directly support
         The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers, where over
         340,000 men and women turned their lives around last year.
         Tax receipts are available for donations.

 WHEN:   Thursday - Saturday, October 2-4, 2008
         9:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.

 WHERE:  Stein Mart stores nationwide
