Two Weeks Left To Donate To Coat Drive For Long Island Coalition For The Homeless

NASSAU COUNTY, NY — There are two weeks left until the conclusion of the Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker’s fourth annual winter coat drive for the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.

Community members can drop off donations to the Syosset and Jericho Libraries, as well as Always Orthodontics in Syosset, before Dec. 22.

“The wonderfully generous response to our fourth annual winter coat drive has truly warmed my heart– and it motivates me even more to do everything within our power to help deserving families throughout our region this holiday season,” Drucker said. “Please join us in wrapping our neighbors with the comfort, safety, and love that is embodied by the donation of a winter coat or other cold-weather essentials at one of our community drop-off sites before Dec. 22– and let’s make a difference together!”

New and gently used winter coats and winter accessories, such as gloves, hats, and scarves, are some of the items that can be donated.

Executive Director for the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless Greta Guarton said the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless is grateful to Legislator Arnold Drucker and his team for organizing the coat drive.

"Thanks to their leadership and the generosity of his constituents, the coats collected will be distributed throughout the winter season to help Long Islanders stay warm," Guarton said. "We are proud to partner with Legislator Drucker’s Office in this important effort."

The Syosset Public Library is located at 225 S. Oyster Bay Road, Syosset; the Jericho Public Library is located at 1 Merry Lane, Jericho; and Always Orthodontics is located at 485 Underhill Blvd., Suite 306, Syosset.
