Coat drive taking donations until Dec. 24
Nov. 23—Burlington Stores announced its 16th annual Burlington Coat Drive in partnership with the national non-profit organization Delivering Good.
Now through Dec. 24, Burlington customers are invited to donate a new or gently worn coat at the Danville store. Coats will be collected and distributed by The Salvation Army of Vermilion County.
As a thank you, customers who donate a coat will enjoy 10 percent off their entire purchase. Over the past 15 years, Burlington's customers, associates and vendors have donated nearly 2.5 million coats nationally.
"As a caring company, we are pleased to continue our tradition of giving back to those in need within store communities nationwide through our annual Coat Drive," said Michael O'Sullivan, CEO of Burlington Stores.
"Now more than ever, families are facing many challenges and staying warm should be the least of their worries. We are delighted to work with Burlington and The Salvation Army in Danville, Ill., again this year to help provide a sense of comfort and hope to individuals during the holidays," said Matthew Fasciano, President and CEO of Delivering Good.
"Partnering with our friends at Burlington and Delivering Good is always a blessing that equips us to #dothemostgood in our community during this challenging season," said Jason Pollom, Danville Corps Officer.
