NYC Annual Coat Drive

Did you know that 90% of homeless adults need a new, warm coat each winter because they have no place to keep one over the summer months? But it’s not just homeless people who need our help; thousands of New Yorkers are forced to make a choice between buying a winter coat and putting food on the table, or meeting other basic survival needs.

Each December, New York Cares collects nearly 80,000 gently used winter coats and distributes them to thousands of men, women, and children who would otherwise go without.

Donate your extra coat if you have one.  If not, you can volunteer your time at a coat collection center or host one of your own.  See the NyCares.org website for more info
