Ocean State Job Lot New ‘Buy, Give, Get’ Baby Formula Program for Families in Need

The program allows customers to help provide premium baby formula to families in need at no net cost to them

Ocean State Job Lot (OSJL), a leading closeout retailer known for its Crazy Deals®, with 175 locations across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, is pleased to announce the launch of its new ‘Buy, Give, Get’ Baby Formula program, which allows customers to help provide premium baby formula to families in need at no net cost to them.

During OSJL’s ‘Buy, Give, Get’ Baby Formula program, customers can BUY a $20 formula donation at any Ocean State Job Lot register, OSJL will GIVE premium Kabrita goat milk formula directly to a family in need through its network of charitable and community partners, and customers will GET their money back as a $20 Crazy Deal® Gift Card to be used on a future purchase. There is no limit on how much customers can give and get through the program.

“This program is a simple way for our customers to make a meaningful difference for families who may be struggling to access the formula their babies need,” said David Sarlitto, Vice President of Corporate Giving, Ocean State Job Lot. “Like many other grocery products, infant formula in particular has seen a price spike of 10% or more in the past 60 days. For new mothers and families, that’s a meaningful jump given how dependent these newborns are on their formula. Through Buy, Give, Get, shoppers can help provide premium baby formula to a family in need, and get the full amount back as a Crazy Deal Gift Card. It’s a win for our customers, and more importantly, it helps support babies and families across the communities we serve.”

Kabrita premium goat milk formula can be an important option for babies with sensitive stomachs, but its higher cost can make it difficult for some families to access. Through the ‘Buy, Give, Get’ Baby Formula program, OSJL is helping bridge that gap by making it easier for customers to support families and babies in need.

Formula donated through the program will be distributed in partnership with organizations including Veterans Administration programs in multiple states from Maine to Maryland, Veterans Inc., Provision Ministry and Catholic Charities.
