TK Maxx

TK Maxx is passionate about giving back to the community. Through their partnership with The Smith Family, they are giving more children and young people the chance to pursue their dreams.

To break the cycle of poverty and fulfil their ambitions, young Australians impacted by poverty need long-term support at every stage of their educational journey. That’s why every TK Maxx store, Processing Centre and Home Office sponsors an individual student on our Learning for Life program, to help them thrive now and into the future. Aided by their store associates and other employees, TK Maxx is now supporting the education of 88 students across the country.

The proven combination of financial, personal and practical support provided to students on Learning for Life helps build their life skills, grow their confidence, and develop the social and professional connections they need to complete their schooling – and realise their potential.

In addition, TK Maxx also generously run an annual in-store Donation Drive in their stores throughout the month of September, with all funds raised supporting students on our Learning for Life program.

Their team is incredibly enthusiastic and engaged, participating in The Smith Family’s activities like The Dream Run, and raising an admirable $34,000 in 2024’s event.
