At Ocean State Job Lot, we care deeply about veterans and their commitment to serving our country. Giving back to veterans in need is a gesture of gratitude and respect for their selfless service and sacrifices made in defending our country. These brave men and women have dedicated their lives to safeguarding our freedoms, often facing unimaginable challenges and hardships during their service. Ocean State Job Lot takes great pride in providing support through our Buy-Give-Get coats program and ensuring they receive care through a warm winter coat during frigid winter months. Their well-being is at the heart of our Buy-Give-Get program, and we are grateful for their service.
This year, because of the tragic devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we will also be donating coats to citizens who are impacted by the hurricanes.
Through the Buy-Give-Get programs we’ve run over the past eight years, we’ve donated over 300,000 winter coats to veterans in need. We have partnered with numerous veterans support organizations throughout the Northeast, including a recent donation of 900 coats at the Veterans Stand Down 2024 at the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs main campus in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.
Coats donated in Rocky Hill, Connecticut for veterans in need.
Team effort to hand out the 900 coats.
Here’s how you can help support our Buy-Give-Get Coats program:
Shop at any Ocean State Job Lot store and:
- Buy a winter coat for just $40 (regularly $120 or more).
- Give the coat you purchased back to the cashier, and we’ll make sure it’s delivered to a veteran in need.
- Get a $40 Crazy Deal Gift Card – free!*
When you use the Crazy Deal Gift Card, your final cost will be zero! There’s no cost to you, and a veteran in need will receive a brand-new winter coat.
Through this Buy-Give-Get program, we’ll work to donate nearly 65,000 coats to veterans in need.
