Burlington Coat Factory and Baby Depot are committed to the communities in which it lives. We give back to the local organizations in many ways - child car seat education, cancer awareness, providing warmth to families in need, donating products to non-profit organizations for their upcoming fundraisers and much more. Please feel free to learn more about our efforts by clicking on the programs listed on our sidebar.
Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Drive
Now through January 16,2012 The Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Coat Drive is a yearly program that launches in October and continues through January. Burlington Coat Factory partners with ABC’s Good Morning America and the national non-profit organization, One Warm Coat. Each year, Burlington Coat Factory collects gently-worn coats at all stores nationwide and One Warm Coat works with local agencies to distribute the coats to children and adults in need within the store community. Since the program’s inception in 2009, the coat drive has collected 792,090 coats. And this year, we are hoping to achieve a campaign milestone- the collection of our 1 Millionth coat!
Be sure to donate a coat now through January 16, 2012 at your nearby Burlington Coat Factory and as our thank you, receive 10% off your entire purchase from now through the end of the campaign.

Child Safety
Project Checkpoint & Operation Car Seat In an effort to support child car seat safety, Burlington Coat Factory and Baby Depot partner with local municipalities, car seat manufactures and non-profit organizations across the country to educate new parents about the proper installation of car seats, through its Project Checkpoint program. Additionally, Baby Depot provides affordable pricing for bulk orders of car seats for non-profit organizations. Below, please find more information on both programs:
