The annual New York Cares Coat Drive is collecting new and gently used coats to give to the needy to keep warm during the winter. The coat drive begins Nov. 15 and lasts through Dec. 31. The organization distributed over 70,000 coats to people in need last year.
Individuals interested in donating coats can drop them off at participating locations throughout the city or mail the coats to: New York Cares Coat Drive, 157 W. 31st St., Basement 2, New York, NY 10001. To learn more, visit www.newyorkcares.org
