As Jack Frost nips at our noses and we pull out our winter coats, it\u2019s a good time to think of those who may not be able to weather the upcoming frigid temperatures. Donating to a local coat drive is a simple yet powerful way to give back and lend a helping hand during these challenging financial times. We\u2019ve rounded up some of the top coat drives across New York City to help ensure your generosity reaches those who need it most. Drop-off dates and times may vary, so be sure to check each organization\u2019s website or social media for the latest details.<\/p>\n
