Here when it counts
When disaster strikes close to home for those in the DG family, we're here to provide help and hope in difficult times. Whether through financial support with the Dollar General Employee Assistance Foundation or other resources, we work to provide our teams with what they need to overcome the unexpected. In fiscal 2023, the Foundation provided $2 million in assistance to co-workers in need.
