Ocean State Job Lot presents ‘Choose, Give, Get’ to benefit those in need this holiday season

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — Ocean State Job Lot (OSJL), a privately-held, family-operated discount retail chain with 133 stores in New England, New York, and New Jersey is pleased to announce its new ‘Choose, Give, Get’ donation program to benefit those in need this holiday season. Customers are invited to ‘choose’ a cause, ‘give’ to that cause, and ‘get’ their donation back in the form of an OSJL Crazy Deal Gift Card.

Beginning Thursday, Nov. 29 through Wednesday, Dec. 5, any customer who chooses to donate $50 or more (in increments of $50) to one of eight causes supported through the OSJL Charitable Foundation, will receive their donated amount back in a Crazy Deal Gift Card. Causes supported by the Foundation are: military and veterans, food insecurity, child welfare, healthcare (fighting cancer/disease), education, animal welfare, performing arts, and homelessness.

“Our usual holiday charitable program, ‘Buy-Give-Get’, resulted in the donation of more than 27,000 winter jackets and 15,000 boots to homeless veterans in need over the last two years,” said David Sarlitto, Ocean State Job Lot Charitable Foundation Executive Director. “This program was so successful, that we decided to expand our reach to even more worthy causes and allow customers to choose the cause closest to their hearts. The OSJL Charitable Foundation has zero overhead because Ocean State Job Lot covers all foundation expenses – 100 percent of your donation goes to the cause to which you want it to go!”
