"Warm Coats + Warm Hearts" campaign

For two years we have partnered with ABC New's Good Morning America and Burlington Coat Factory in a national coat drive. This year more than 177,000 coats were donated and distributed locally.

A question that comes up a lot -- where do the coats go? We recently received a letter from Cornerstone Assistance Network in Fort Worth, Texas who received over 45 boxes of coats from their local Burlington Coat Factory stores.

Here's an example of how they distributed the coats: "I had a call from a mom that needed a coat for her son. I got his size and grabbed a donated coat and then took the coat to the boy that lived at the Fort Worth Housing Authority. School counselors told us the names and sizes of 50 individual children that needed coats. Thanks to you we were able to supply that need."

Yes -- the coats stay in their local community.

Thanks to the thousands who donated coats and, most of all, thanks to our wonderful partners , ABC News' Good Morning America and Burlington Coat Factory, who make this such a successful effort.
