New York Cares Winter Coat Drive 2017

If Black Friday or Cyber Week sales earn you or the kids a new, warm winter coat or jacket, donate your old one to the poor and homeless in NYC.

2017 is the 91st annual New York Cares Winter Coat Drive and there are hundreds of drop-off locations in NYC, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk where you can donate a warm winter coat or jacket you no longer want, or one the kids have outgrown, to poor and needy New Yorkers.

The annual winter coat collection is as much a part of the holidays in NYC as the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the fancy department store holiday windows, and you can donate through the end of the year to meet demand.

Drop-off locations include NYPD precincts, libraries, Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal, Manhattan Mini Storage locations, even a Rolls Royce dealership.

Some are already accepting donations, and others begin accepting next week, through the Friday before New Year’s

Here’s the NYC list, and click here for drop-off locations outside the Five Boroughs

If you don’t have a coat to donate physically, you can do it virtually, by making a donation on the New York Cares website to purchase one or more coats for a needy New Yorker, adult or child.

Donating a winter coat or jacket will warm your heart along with the body of the recipient.
