Buy a coat at Macy’s stores or on macys.com
from October 9 to October 14, and Macy’s, in partnership with
Clothes4Souls, will donate a new coat to someone in need
Macy’s (NYSE:M) is proud to announce the seventh annual “Buy a
Coat and We’ll Donate One” campaign in partnership with nonprofit
Clothes4Souls. From Wednesday, Oct. 9 to Monday, Oct. 14, Macy’s
invites its customers to help those in need by purchasing a coat in
the men’s, women’s, junior’s and children’s outerwear departments
in-store and on macys.com. For every coat purchased, Macy’s will
donate a brand new coat, up to 35,000 with an average retail value
of $40-$100 each, to Clothes4Souls to provide warmth, hope and
dignity to those in need this winter. Since 2013, Macy’s has
donated $9.4 million in coats, helping more than 235,000 people.
This year, Macy’s and Clothes4Souls will distribute coats in 25
communities near Macy’s stores and corporate office locations.
Additionally, employee volunteers from Macy’s Partners in Time
program will assist with sharing the warmth and distributing coats
in their local areas all around the country.
“We’re proud that our customers love to give back as much as we
do at Macy’s,” said Sam Harrison Di Scipio, Macy’s vice president
of corporate communications, giving and volunteerism. “Through our
long standing partnership with Clothes4Souls, we’ve been able to
share the warmth with those in need for more than seven years.
We’re grateful for the support of our customers, colleagues and
vendors that have stood behind this important cause with us.”
Clothes4Souls, a division of
the nonprofit Soles4Souls, creates sustainable jobs and provides
relief through the distribution of clothing around the world.
Clothes4Souls works with nonprofit partners to distribute both via
direct donations to people in need and by provisioning qualified
micro-enterprise programs designed to create jobs in poor and
disadvantaged communities.
"It really is the 'most wonderful time of year,'" said Buddy
Teaster, CEO of Clothes4Souls. "Together with the help of Macy's,
its vendors, and dozens of agencies around the country we have
helped more than 200,000 people, who desperately need a winter coat
to stay warm. We’re thankful to Macy’s for their continued
partnership and helping people in need right here in the U.S."
Coats donated through the program average in retail price from
$40 to $100 and are generously donated from a variety of
participating brands including: 32 Degrees, Calvin Klein, Celebrity
Pink, DKNY, GUESS, Hawke & Co. Outfitter, Kensie, Laundry by
Shelli Segal, Lauren Ralph Lauren, Michael Michael Kors, Nautica,
Sebby Weatherproof.
