For 49 years, Ocean State Job Lot has taken immense pride in delivering incredible savings to our customers! Equally important to us is supporting the local communities we serve. A key way we give back is through our Buy-Give-Get program. From supplying coats and warm apparel for veterans to our latest initiatives delivering baby formula, essential items, and toys to families in need, we remain dedicated to being here for you!
Our customers play a vital role in supporting those in need. Every time a customer purchases a Buy-Give-Get item, they get a Crazy Deal® Gift Card for the full purchase amount—so donating is basically like shopping for FREE! It creates a true win-win for everyone involved. It has allowed us to help over 1,000 local organizations across our communities!
Buy-Give-Get Baby Formula
Ocean State Job Lot’s loyal customers helped us donate 164,000 cans of Kabrita Baby Formula, the equivalent of $3.3 million in baby formula for families in need. That’s quite an extraordinary feat for our first time with this type of donation.
Buy-Give-Get Baby Essentials
Because of the success of our baby formula campaign, we reached out to our customers to help babies and families, and they received a Crazy Deal® Gift Card when they purchased $20 of essential baby items such as blankets, onesies, sleep sets, and other essentials. Then, with the help of these loyal partners, we could distribute these valuable items to families in need.

Buy-Give-Get Toys
Job Lot dreamed of putting Christmas toys in the hands of kids in need. With the support of our customers, we are making that dream a reality for the third year! When a customer buys two toys for $20, they get a $20 Crazy Deal® Gift Card! Then, we help distribute the toys to put a smile on their face this Christmas! Our goal this third year is 300,000 toys!
Over 450,000 toys donated in two years.
Buy-Give-Get Coats
This is what started the whole Buy-Give-Get program in 2016; each year, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of veterans in need stay warm by donating new winter coats.
Since 2016, we’ve donated 458,000 winter coats!
Buy-Give-Get Backpacks
This summertime program has grown to a point where over 235,000 backpacks have been donated to local children, including children of military families.
