Morris County, NJ - As the chilly winds of winter approach, Lakeland Hills Family YMCA is once again launching its Annual Coat Drive to help those in need stay warm during the cold months. The YMCA is proud to announce a new partnership with Morris County Vocational-Technical High School in Denville, NJ, for this year's initiative.
For years, Lakeland Hills Family YMCA has been a beacon of hope for those facing the bitter cold of winter by collecting coats, jackets, hats, and gloves. These donations play a vital role in supporting the Market Street Mission, a local charity dedicated to helping individuals and families in need.
The Annual Coat Drive has been a significant community effort, with numerous organizations and individuals coming together to make a difference. This year, Lakeland Hills Family YMCA is excited to welcome Morris County Vocational-Technical High School as a debut partner in this heartwarming endeavor.
"We are thrilled to have Morris County Vocational-Technical High School join us in our mission to keep our community warm this winter," said Rosemary Linder Day, Vice President of Marketing and Membership, and spokesperson for Lakeland Hills Family YMCA. "Their participation will undoubtedly amplify our impact, making it possible for even more people to receive the warmth and comfort they need during the colder months."
The partnership between Lakeland Hills Family YMCA and Morris County Vocational-Technical High School reflects a shared commitment to serving the local community and extending a helping hand to those in need. Together, they aim to collect a record number of coats and winter accessories to ensure that everyone can stay warm and protected this winter.
Members of the public are encouraged to participate by donating gently used or new coats, jackets, hats, and gloves at the designated drop-off locations, including Lakeland Hills Family YMCA at 100 Fanny Road in Mountain Lakes, and Morris County Vocational-Technical High School, located on Route 53 in Denville. Donations can be made from October 2 through October 20.
Lakeland Hills Family YMCA and Morris County Vocational-Technical High School are excited to make this year's Annual Coat Drive a resounding success and provide warmth, comfort, and hope to the less fortunate members of our community. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those who need it most.
