Reminders: The New York Cares 26th annual Coat Drive continues



As we cut-n-paste a few weeks ago… via NY1:

With greater urgency this year, New York Cares is launching its 26th Annual Coat Drive.

The agency says it has received requests for 100,000 coats for men, women, and children.

Typically it collects 80,000.

Through December 31, donations of gently used, freshly laundered coats will be collected at hundreds of locations throughout the five boroughs including all NYPD precincts, New York Penn Station, Atlantic Avenue – Barclays Center, and Grand Central Terminal.

You may search for a drop-off location here. Around here you can take coats to the 9th Precinct at 321 E. Fifth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue ... or the Police Service Area 4 at 130 Avenue C at East Eighth Street.

An EVG commenter told us that the coat drive is well short of its goal….

    They have around 19,000 coats. They were hoping for 80-100,000. Unbelievable.

    I dropped one off at the Pinkberry on St. Marks.
