Addabbo Donates Dozens of Coats to New York Cares Following A Successful Coat Drive Facilitated By The Generosity Of The Community

Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. and his staff are preparing to ship seven carboard boxes filled with many coats to New York Cares so they can be distributed to those in need, which is especially important as the weather has become colder. 

The collection of coats follows Addabbo’s annual coat drive with New York Cares which aims to provide warm clothing to those in need during this winter season. The drive began in mid-November and extended until nearly the end of December, during which time generous constituents contributed gently used coats by dropping them off at Addabbo’s Offices in Woodhaven and Middle Village, 

“Every year I am proud to work with New York Cares on this important endeavor to help those in need stay warm and comfortable this winter, but it would not be possible without the kindness of the contributors who donate the coats,” Addabbo said. “I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to those who looked through their closets and donated what they could. Together, I believe we are making a significant difference.”
