Clean out those closets

Although morning temperatures are somewhat lower, chances are you still aren't thinking about jackets and coats, but cold weather has a way of sneaking up on you.
And if you are fortunate enough to own a jacket or coat when the cold weather hits, count that as a blessing because not everyone will be prepared for the lower temperatures.
But help is on the way!
Burlington Coat Factory, through the One Warm Coat community service effort, will be collecting clean, reusable coats and jackets. Coats of all shapes sizes are welcome but children's sizes are most needed.
One Warm Coat is dedicated to distributing reusable coats, free of charge, directly to the children, women and men of the Shreveport Bossier Rescue Mission.
To help with this community effort, here's what you should do:
Bring your clean, reusable coats and jackets to any Burlington Coat Factory from Sept. 24 to Nov. 11.
That's it. That's all you have to do.
“We are thrilled that so many people across the country have received coats to help them stay warm," said Lois Pavlow, founder of One Warm Coat. "It’s such a simple and easy way to show you care for people in need.”
Since its inception in 1992, more than 400,000 coats have been provided to those in need at no cost.
So start cleaning out those closets and get ready for One Warm Coat.
