Coats for Cubs

All Locations
Nov 14, 2009 to Apr 22, 2010

Give your furs back to the animals! Now through Earth Day on Thursday, April 22, bring your real fur apparel, including trims, accessories and shearling, to any Buffalo Exchange and let us know it’s a donation for Coats for Cubs (called Coats for Critters in Chicago). Since you’re donating to The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), condition is unimportant. Used furs provide bedding and comfort to orphaned and injured wildlife. Since 2006, Buffalo Exchange has collected a total of 3,885 used furs on behalf of Coats for Cubs. To claim a tax deduction, please mail your fur directly to The Humane Society of the United States, Attn: Coats for Cubs, 2100 L St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037. To stay on top of the latest issues affecting animals, join The HSUS's online community and receive action alerts. For questions about Coats for Cubs, email furfree@humanesociety.org. The HSUS and Buffalo Exchange, an official endorser, ask you to voice support for the Truth in Fur Labeling Act of 2009 (H.R. 2480/S. 1076). If passed, this act would require all garments made with animal fur to say so on the label, helping consumers make more informed decisions. Take action and ask your representative in Congress for truth in fur labeling!
