In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and with the holiday season approaching, giving back is on everyone’s minds. Burlington Coat Factory has been getting in the spirit by recently kicking off its 6th annual Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Coat Drive. The drive benefits One Warm Coat, a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing coats to those in need.
The program invites shoppers to “Give a Coat and Share the Warmth” by donating gently-worn coats (in good condition, with working closures and no rips or stains) at drop boxes at their local Burlington store. Burlington and One Warm Coat will be working with agencies in the tri-state area to ensure coats donated to local stores benefit hurricane victims. As a thank you, Burlington Coat Factory will give a 10% discount on their purchase.
Even for those who do not have a coat to donate, there are many easy ways to get involved:
· Send a text - Text “COAT” to 80100 to donate funds to One Warm Coat to help fund coats for kids in need. Show that you made a donation at any Burlington and receive 10% off your entire purchase
· Drink a Coke - Any customer who purchases a Coca-Cola product and joins My Coke Rewards, will be able to donate their points to One Warm Coat to help fund coats for kids in need;
· Check in - Check-in on Foursquare at any Burlington location and for every unlocked special Burlington will donate one new coat, up to 5,000, to someone in need;
· Pin it - Take the coat drive pledge on Pinterest by creating a “What Keeps Me Warm” Board which must include at least three pins from
Burlington Coat Factory's Coat Board along with the #WarmCoatsWarmHeartsPin, hashtag. Send the link of your Board to
pinterest@coat.com to enter for the chance to win a $100 Burlington gift card.
