Give warmly!
It’s the time of the year when New Yorkers look out for each other — we’re kicking off our collection for the New York Cares Coat Drive on Marathon Sunday, Nov. 2. We’ll be out on Mile 8 in Fowler Square (Fulton + Lafayette) from 8 am – 11 am, collecting coats and cheering on the runners!
If you miss us — no worries! The coat drive will move into three area businesses, where you can drop your donations off during regular business hours. Look for the New York Cares boxes at the following locations:
- Discovery Pit Stop – 467 Vanderbilt (Kids’ coats only)
- Brooklyn Plaza Medical Center – 650 Fulton
- Ridgewood Savings Bank – 1035 Fulton
New York Cares is seeking warm, gently used coats suitable for New York winters! Please refrain from including windbreakers, denim jackets, suit jackets/blazers, and any other clothing. We also are not able to accept hats, scarves, and gloves.
You can bring your coat donations to these locations through December 17.
