As colder temperatures settle across New York City, State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. is once again partnering with New York Cares for its annual coat drive to help provide warmth and comfort to individuals and families in need during the winter months.

The coat drive will continue through December 14, 2026, giving residents an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by donating gently used coats to those facing the cold weather without adequate winter clothing.

“A warm coat is something many of us take for granted, but for someone struggling to make ends meet, it’s a tremendous gift,” Addabbo said. “No one should face the harsh winter temperatures without proper protection from the cold. Through our continued partnership with New York Cares, we have an opportunity to come together as a community and extend a helping hand to our neighbors in need.”

Residents can drop off gently used coats Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at either of Senator Addabbo’s district offices:

Woodhaven District Office: 84-16 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY 11421

Middle Village District Office: 66-85 73rd Place, Middle Village, NY 11379

For additional information about the coat drive or how to participate, please contact Senator Addabbo’s office at 718-738-1111.
