Give a blanket, get a Sears coupon

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. Sears announced that it has teamed up with AMVETS to support "Operation Blanket," a program created to collect blankets that will be distributed to military veterans.

Customers are invited to show their support and donate gently used blankets at select stores from Jan. 31 through Feb. 18. In exchange for their donation, Sears will provide each customer with a coupon for 20% off any one home fashion or home decor item, or a coupon for 10% off any one housewares, luggage or furniture item (mattresses are excluded). Customers will receive a coupon for each blanket they donate.

"Sears is proud to work together with AMVETS to support 'Operation Blanket' in an effort to help provide comfort to those veterans who have given so much for our country," said Doug Wurl, VP/GMM of Sears Holdings home fashions. "Each year we challenge ourselves to find new ways to say 'thank you' to the members of our military. This is yet another way we can show our appreciation and encourage participation from our customers."
