Avon Responded to the Pandemic according to Newsweek
Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, Newsweek took note of 50 companies that stood out for their efforts & contributions. Avon responded to the pandemic with generous gestures. As Newsweek was compiling their list, they were looking for companies making noteworthy contributions across different industries & categories of giving.
Avon sent $2 million worth of personal care & hygiene products like soap, body wash, and skin care, to Feed the Children in March. And, The Avon Foundation for Women pledge $1 million to frontline services that help victims of domestic abuse.
One of the harshest realities of COVID-19 and the necessity of the social distancing that tragically shutters numerous businesses and puts countless people out of work is a family’s sudden inability to access essential supplies and to afford them even if they can.
Avon’s partner, Feed the Children, works closely with community partners like schools, civic organizations and food banks to serve the most vulnerable populations and others who may be experiencing difficulty due to a job loss in this uncertain environment. Feed the Children has alerted Avon to the most pressing needs of the most affected communities so it can send vital resources to help keep these families afloat.
“Avon is proud to have partnered with Feed the Children since 2004,” “Because of our longstanding relationship, it made sense to work with Feed the Children for their COVID-19 relief efforts. They work diligently to get our products to the people who need them most.”

Avon responded to the pandemic by bringing this technology to it’s customers. Sure, there are many hygiene & health reasons to use the Avon virtual makeover tool. But even without covid to consider, virtual try-ons are worth your time. Thanks to the magic of technology, you can test out dozens of shadow shades in a few seconds & take selfies in makeup that you might not normally try. So go ahead, smile & try-on your perfect shade with one of the best virtual try-ons the internet has to offer according to Allure magazine.

Partnership with Gyrl Wonder
We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Gyrl Wonder, a professional pipeline initiative empowering ambitious young women of color between the ages of 17 and 22. Avon has donated over $100,000 worth of essential products to the “gyrls” of Gyrl Wonder to support their pillars of self-care, self-image, empowerment, development and service. Plus, we’re working with this inspiring organization on future workshops and Avon internship opportunities.
Gyrl Wonder’s mission—to empower young women of color through social impact, career exploration and objective alignment—works beautifully with Avon’s. The organization provides the access and resources necessary for go-getting “gyrls” to learn how to reach their personal and professional goals, and successfully enter a competitive workforce. We’re proud to promote female entrepreneurship in the next generation of “gyrl” leaders, and we’re glad to be able to build on our own 134-year legacy of celebrating women’s power to make a beautiful and positive impact in the world.
