Coat Drive

We’re hosting a coat drive at the store for the months of October and November.  Bring in an old (but still good) coat and get 20% off a new coat from the store. All coats that are brought in will be donated to New York Cares for their annual coat drive starting in December.

quoted from the New York Cares website:

Did you know that 90% of homeless adults need a new, warm coat each winter because they have no place to keep one over the summer months? But it’s not just homeless people who need our help; thousands of New Yorkers each year are forced to make a choice between buying a winter coat and putting food on the table, or meeting other basic survival needs.

New York Cares collects nearly 70,000 gently used winter coats each December and distributes them to thousands of men, women, and children who would otherwise be cold.

Registration begins on Monday, October 19, 2009. Check back soon to find out how you can help.
