How do I get my 10% off coupon?

In exchange for your coat donation, a greeter will issue a 10% off entire purchase coupon
along with a tax receipt. If there is no greeter present, please ask an associate for your
coupon.
How are the coats distributed?
K.I.D.S. / Fashion Delivers has identified local agencies across the country that helps those
in need, and has matched them with each Burlington location. All coats are kept locally in
each store community to help those most in need.
Why do you give the coats to a charity instead of individuals in need?
K.I.D.S. / Fashion Delivers is experienced at matching our stores with local agencies to
donate merchandise, and in this case, coats. The goal of the Warm Coats and Warm Hearts
Drive is to make sure people locally benefit from this drive. The local agencies that K.I.D.S. /
Fashion Delivers has partnered with ensures that the donated coats reach the people and
families who need them most in local communities.
Are you waiting until the end of the drive to distribute the donated coats?
No. Donated coats are picked up by local agencies throughout the coat drive. As it gets
colder and colder this season, it's very important that the coats donated to the Warm Coats
and Warm Hearts Drive reach the people and families who need them as quickly as
possible.
How could I be featured on Good Morning America?
The customer can tell us why they are donating to the Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Coat
Drive on their social media platform of preference through #CoatNotes. Their story could be
seen on ABC’s Good Morning America. The customer will be notified if your story is selected
to be featured on the broadcast!
