XEX MAGAZINE in association w/ New York Cares Annual Coat Drive!
Since 1987, New York Cares has been creating opportunities for New Yorkers to volunteer in meaningful ways, providing a vital lifeline of support to hundreds of thousands of under-served people in our community. Our staff works with partner organizations to identify their most pressing needs, creates projects to bridge the gaps, and recruits, trains, and deploys teams of volunteers to make a difference. New York Cares is now the city’s largest volunteer organization, running volunteer programs for 1,200 nonprofits, city agencies and public school.
Now in its 23rd year, the Coat Drive New York Cares endeavors to collect 100,000 new and gently used coats from caring New Yorkers. All of the coats are distributed to struggling men, women, and children at homeless shelters, community organizations, and agencies serving seniors; free of charge. The coat drive runs until December 31.
