While a South Florida winter doesn’t require a coat with the thickness of a snow jacket, it does get cold (even though my husband may say otherwise). On those cold days, I am fortunate enough to have coats available for myself and my family. Unfortunately, not every family can say the same.
There are so many people living in poverty and a coat to keep them warm is not something they have access to. It breaks my heart to think about small kids not being to have access to a coat to keep them warm. That is why I am thankful that Burlington has partnered with with ABC’s Good Morning America and the national non-profit organization, K.I.D.S/Fashion Delivers in their 8th annual Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Coat Drive.
We can help too!
In the past 7 years, more than 1.3 million coats have been collected and donated…that is amazing! We can make a difference…
Something as simple as donating an extra coat, a coat that no longer fits or that is no longer considered to be “in style” can make a difference in the lives of others. All you have to do is look in your closets. Even if you have nothing in your closet, consider buying a jacket to donate.
This year my kiddos and I wanted to help. We chose 2 coats, headed on down to our local Burlington store, found the marked box (near the registers), put the coats in the box and then got a tax donation receipt AND a coupon good for 10 percent off my next Burlington Purchase.
Yep, not only is you donation tax deductible. You also get a coupon good for 10 percent off your next Burlington Purchase for each coat you donate.
So not only are you helping those in need, you can make it into a teaching moment for your kiddos AND you get a tax deduction AND you get to shop while saving money!
If you happen to snap a picture of your donation, you’re encouraged to share it stating why you are donating your coat using #CoatNotes. If you do, your picture can appear on Good Morning America.
