Barbour Annual Coat Drive Benefits Catholic Charities

For the sixth year, Barbour is partnering with One Warm Coat to host its annual coat drive to benefit the communities surrounding Barbour’s retail locations. To give back this holiday season, the company has committed to donate a sweater or shirt for every coat turned in at a Barbour retail store through December 31.

The Princeton Barbour store is at 67 Palmer Square West. Any worn coat in wearable condition for men and women will be accepted and donated to Catholic Charities.

Looking for a way to extend their contribution, Barbour chose to pledge a sweater or shirt to make a deeper impact on the local charities. In past years, Barbour has offered a discount off a new jacket for those who donated a coat at a Barbour store.

“Our commitment to match every coat donation with a Barbour shirt or sweater turns the focus back on the true meaning of this program and that is to give back to those in our neighborhoods and communities in need of assistance during this holiday season.” said Christopher Sapienza, Head of Barbour Retail, North America. “We hope our customers will help us meet our goal of collecting 1,500 coats at Barbour retail stores to trigger a donation of 1,500 shirts or sweaters to our charity partners.”
