Senator Andrew Lanza today urged New Yorkers to donate coats in response to the NY Cares donation shortage. NY Cares has received 97,000 requests for coats but has only gotten 8,500 donations to date. Their goal is 100,000.
“New Yorkers who cannot afford warm coats need our help as temperatures continue to drop this winter,” said Senator Lanza. “NY Cares reported a major shortage in available coats so I am urging New Yorkers to donate any and all warm coats that might keep a child warm this season.”
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will set up drop-off locations at the following facilities:
