CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – AUGUST 31: A sign hangs above a Dollar General store on August 31, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. Dollar General stock plunged more than 12 percent today as the retail chain, faced with declining consumer demand and heavy losses attributed to retail theft, missed analysts expectation.

Last Friday, Dollar General announced they have donated more than $2.5 million to nonprofit organizations to heal the scorned Jacksonville neighborhood where a white man killed three Black people back on Aug. 26th.
The donation includes $50,000 to local food banks, $500,000 to the First Coast Relief Fund, and $1 million to nonprofits and community organizations – they will also match donations of up to $1 million for its Employee Assistance Foundation.
