The 20th Annual Jersey Cares Coat Drive

Jersey Cares plans to collect and distribute more than 30,000 “gently used” winter coats to men, women and children in need throughout New Jersey through The 20th Annual Jersey Cares Coat Drive. Over the past eighteen years, Jersey Cares has collected, sorted and distributed more than 500,000 coats for New Jersey residents through our annual coat drive. Companies, churches, fire departments, police stations, schools and other organizations will set up sites across the state to collect coats and then deliver them to the nearest Jersey Cares Container Site. Jersey Cares volunteers will then organize the donated coats at the container site and bag them for pick-up. Pre-approved nonprofit organizations will then pick up their coats and distribute them to people in need.
