Donate Coats To Burlington Store In Lawrence, Help The Community

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – Retailer Burlington Stores has partnered with non-profit organization Delivering Goods to provide coats to those in need. Coats will be distributed to community members living within the Burlington Store neighborhood.

This is the store’s 14th annual coat drive.

The store has invited customer to donate new or gently used coats at any Burlington store, now through Jan. 4, 2021. As a thank you, the store will offer customers a 10 percent off on their entire purchase.

“With the need being greater than ever, and the cold winter months quickly approaching, Burlington is pleased to be able to continue its tradition of hosting its annual coat drive. Thanks to our partnership with Delivering Good, we are able to provide coats to those in need through customer coat donations within our store communities nationwide,” Michael O’Sullivan, CEO of Burlington Stores said in a statement.

Sullivan said customers have donated more than 2.3 million coats over the past 13 years.

The store recently conducted a survey among customers to better understand their closet organizing behavior. According to the survey, nearly 70 percent people said they have coats in their closet they do not wear. These findings provided the store with the impetus to organize the coat drive to help communities.

“Especially with this year’s many obstacles, donating a coat is more important than ever. Thanks to our partnership with Burlington Stores, we are able to help to distribute thousands of coats to people who need them most,” said Lisa Gurwitch, President and CEO of Delivering Good.

The store said Delivering Goods will ensure the coats are distributed to those living within the communities.
