Contribute To Clarkstown's Coat Drive

NEW CITY, NY — Clarkstown Town Supervisor George Hoehmann has kicked off the Clarkstown Cares Coat Drive. Four local dry cleaners are helping, collecting coats for kids and adults, cleaning the coats free of charge, and then forwarding them to three agencies, Martin Luther King Center, People to People, and Advocates for Change.

The program runs now through Dec. 20.

“Many families are faced with tough times during the holidays. I am asking residents to look through their closets and donate any coats they may no longer need,” said Hoehmann. “Help us keep our neighbors warm this winter!”

This years’ list of participating dry-cleaners include:

NEW CITY:

• Touch of Class, 377 S. Main Street. 639-9019
• Bon Tem Cleaners, 56 N. Main Street. 638-2020

NANUET:

• Cleanique, 53 Bardonia Road. 623-6680

SPRING VALLEY:

• Personal Touch Cleaners, 301A North Main Street. 425-3313.

Anyone in need of a coat should contact any of the following organizations:

• Advocate for Change: 845.461.0523
• People-to-People of Rockland: 121 West Nyack Road: 623-4900

“As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season surrounds us, it is heartwarming to see the generosity displayed by many residents," Hoehmann said. "I am amazed by the kindness and willingness of the residents of Clarkstown to help our fellow residents.”
