Did you know that 90% of homeless adults need a new, warm coat each winter because they have no place to keep one during the warmer months of the year? In addition, thousands of other New Yorkers are forced to choose between buying a winter coat and putting food on the table or meeting other basic survival needs. No one should have to make that kind of choice.
New York Cares helps those less fortunate by collecting nearly 70,000 gently used winter coats each December and distributing them to thousands of men, women and children who would otherwise be cold. Please donate a coat, host a coat collection or make a financial donation to this very worthy charity. Your support provides them with the resources to collect and distribute coats now and supports volunteer programs that will continue to impact the city all year long.
