Senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. is partnering with New York Cares for their annual coat drive, aimed at providing warm clothing to those in need this winter season. The drive will run until January 5, 2026, allowing community members to donate gently used coats to help keep families across New York warm.

"Every winter, it saddens me to see so many New Yorkers shivering in the cold because they lack proper clothing," Addabbo said. "Partnering with New York Cares lets us take a heartfelt, proactive stand to ensure no one in our community suffers through the season without a warm coat. I ask everyone to go through their closets and donate what they can.”

Coats can be dropped off Monday through Friday, during normal business hours 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Addabbo’s District Office, located at 84-16 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven and at his Middle Village office, located at 66-85 73rd Place.

Donations will be collected and distributed to local shelters and families in need. For more information about the coat drive and how to participate, please contact Senator Addabbo’s office at 718-738-1111.
