Tinton Falls Hosting Annual Winter Coat Drive

The 11th Annual Tinton Falls Winter Coat Drive is underway and organizers are looking to keep a string of successful collections going this year.

Nearly 1,600 coats have been collected in the last 10 years, and donated to the Madonna House, an organization that helps needy families in the county.

Organizers are asking for gently-used winter coats in all sizes, from infants to adults. Donations are asked to be dropped off clean, in good condition and packed in plastic bags.

Collection bins will be located at the Mahala F. Atchison School, the Swimming River School and the Tinton Falls Middle School through Friday, October 5. 

If you are interested in helping, or have any questions, please contact Jake O’Donnell at 732-345-0719 or at cdodonnell@verizon.net
