Belk in the News

With so many beauty launches happening daily, new products don’t have that bright, shiny appeal they once did. (Except for you, Essie. We still anticipate every one of your polish drops like it’s Christmas morning.) Every so often though, we get word of a particularly exciting new launch that catches us off guard and gets our lashes fluttering. Yesterday’s announcement of Belk Beauty was one of them.

Belk, best known for its Southern department stores, unveiled its Community Closet to be used by both schools.

As a part of its Project Hometown, Belk donated more than $60,000 to the three schools to create a closet filled with donated clothes, wipes, towels, shoes and lunch bags.

Belk now has its own private label beauty brand.

The Boys and Girls Club of Central Virginia is on the receiving end of 200 back-to-school outfits. The club hosted a party on Cherry Avenue on Monday, September 17, to celebrate the donation from Belk's Project Hometown.
