Coat Donations Desperately Needed For Infants and Children In NYC
Hi and thanks for reading!

I got an email plea from New York Cares asking if I could help get the word out that they are in desperate need of coats for children and infants this winter. Can you help? Perhaps you have a snowsuit, coat or snow pants that are too small? Any gently used coat would be greatly appreciated. Collection continues through December 31st, so please make it a fun activity to do with your family before the year ends.
To see a complete list of their public collection sites, download the complete list or see below for the list of locations in Brooklyn. To see where you can donate your coat at a Storage Post Self Storage, click here.

Thanks Colleen for responding on behalf of New York Cares. I got a couple of emails asking about still donating and will pass the info on.
Sharon and Christine,
We’d love to take your coats directly at our Warehouse in Midtown! We’re at 11 Penn Plaza, right across from Penn Station. We’re open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm.
Further questions, feel free to contact us directly at 646-801-4022.
Thanks!
Hi Karen – is there still a need for coats past the deadline as our babysitting coop is looking for a group to give to as we missed the traditional “giving season” but would still like to do a mass give. Coats would be perfect. Let us know! Sharon
Hi there – I have 2 infant snow suits brand new with tags I would like to donate but have missed this deadline….is there anywhere else still accepting donations? Thanks! I tried the local police dept but they no longer have the donation boxes…..
