To help customers save while giving back, Macy’s will offer 40
to 50 percent off a large selection of outerwear during the
campaign.
“Our program with Clothes4Souls is one that our customers and
employees look forward to every fall season,” said Holly Thomas,
Macy's group vice president of Cause Marketing. “With 130,000 new
coats donated to date, we’ve seen incredible impact in our local
communities. It's an honor to partner with Clothes4Souls to once
again bring brand new coats to people in need, and we hope to be
able to deliver another 35,000 coats this year.”
Clothes4Souls, a division of Soles4Souls, is a not-for-profit
global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the
collection and distribution of clothing. Clothes4Souls works with
non-profit partners including homeless shelters, after school
programs, international relief and disaster relief organizations to
provide clothes to those who need them most, domestically and
globally.
“It’s such a privilege to be working with Macy’s for the fourth
year in a row,” said Buddy Teaster, Soles4Souls President and CEO.
“The fact that we have been able to put 130,000 coats into the
hands of people who need them most is extraordinary. A new coat can
help provide much needed warmth during the harsh winter months and
can bridge the economic gap for thousands across America. Macy’s
and its customers understand the power they have to make a
difference and we couldn’t be happier to be a partner in this
work.”
Coats donated through the program average in retail price from
$40 to $100 and distribution will take place in cities across
