In an attempt to keep as many people as possible clothed and warm during the harsh winter months, Macy's is teaming up with Clothes4Souls to launch a buy one, give one campaign.
Throughout the campaign, for every new coat purchased for men, women or kids, the department store will donate a coat, up to a total of 50,000 coats to the anti-poverty organization. To make participating in the campaign a little more accessible to all shoppers, Macy's will also be offering discounts of up to 50% on outerwear.
Now that this is the time for many consumers to refresh their winter wardrobes, this philanthropic campaign makes it easy to do twice as much good in a single shopping trip to Macy's.
