HOW WE'RE TAKING CARE

United States |  Canada - English  |  Français - Canada

For us, the health and safety of our employees, customers and communities is our top priority. Things are changing daily, but one thing that won’t? Our commitment to the safety and comfort of our teams and customers. Learn more below about how we’re taking care to help keep our teams and customers safe in our Athleta, Banana Republic, Gap, and Old Navy stores.

In 2020, we committed to evolving our health and safety practices as we safely reopened stores with a strategic plan to deliver a safe shopping experience for our communities. Since then, we’ve continued to monitor all official COVID-19 recommendations from OSHA and CDC, local government mandates, and current COVID data trends to make adjustments to our policies. Our current mask policy across our brands in the U.S. has evolved to rely on personal preference and local or state mandates to keep customers and employees safe. As always, we will continue to be compliant with jurisdictions where masks are required by law.

For updates on our health and safety measures in our stores and in our fulfillment centers, please refer to the FAQs below.

Our Community

What did Gap Inc. do to give back to communities impacted during the pandemic?

Gap Inc. has always been committed to the communities in which we serve. That commitment was amplified during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic when we leveraged our expansive supply chain to connect hospital networks with millions of critical PPE (personal protective equipment), for frontline healthcare workers. We gave back in other ways too during that time, including donating clothing to clothing to families and individuals as they got back to work, donating masks to Boys and Girls Clubs of America as their clubs stayed open to provide a safe place for kids and families in underserved communities, and donating a portion of mask sales to Feeding America.

Today, our family of brands is proud to continue supporting our local communities through individual and group efforts.
