FRAMINGHAM, MA<\/strong> -- With change occurring at a fundamental level this past year, T.J.Maxx sought to understand how women were navigating unexpected changes, both big and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent survey1<\/sup> by the brand\u2019s purpose-driven initiative \"The Maxx You Project\"<\/em><\/strong> uncovered that 1 in 2 women desire \u201caccess to other women\u201d when experiencing personal change, and 80% want more networks of support to help encourage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its fifth year, The Maxx You Project is launching \"The Change Exchange<\/strong>\", an empowering letter-writing program designed to help women connect with each other and feel supported as they navigate moments of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

With The Change Exchange, The Maxx You Project is continuing its mission to support women as they navigate who they are and who they are becoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actor, producer, and New York Times best-selling author Mindy Kaling is partnering with T.J.Maxx to kick off The Change Exchange, sharing her personal story of change and encouraging other women to do the same by signing up for the program. Two lucky participants will have the chance to become surprise pen pals with Kaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love how this pen pal program was designed with the intention to connect women all over the country as they navigate life\u2019s changes,\u201d said Mindy Kaling. \u201cChange is something we all go through in life \u2013 it\u2019s unavoidable. As someone who has personally been through many changes, from a young writer in Hollywood, to actress, to mother, I\u2019m excited to kick off The Change Exchange and help women turn moments of change into moments of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
