Where to Donate Coats This Winter

This year’s Jersey Cares Coat Drive promises to be “super” in a number of ways.

The goal of the 18th annual drive is to collect 60,000 coats — 50% more than last year. 

To help achieve that goal, Jersey Cares has partnered with the 2014 NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, Wal-Mart and New York Cares to create The Super Community Coat Drive, what could very well be the largest coat drive ever.

Consider donating your gently used coats to men, women and children in need.

The collection is under way and continues through Feb. 7, 2014, with many local drop-off sites, including these three in Montclair.
