Fall 2016 Interest in supporting New Yorkers in need of warm clothes? Run NYCares Coat Drive in November 2016 & December 2016.

https://www.newyorkcares.org/coat-drive

We all know what it's like to be cold, but most of us experience it in short spurts, like on the walk to work from the subway or while at a New York Giants game in December. Now, think of that last time you were really freezing, the chill seeping right down to your bones. And then imagine having no respite, no hope of getting warm anytime soon. We run the Coat Drive because we want to ensure every New Yorker has the opportunity to stay warm, healthy, and safe over the winter.

You can register your own personal coat collection by clicking here or on the button above.

If you would like to make a clothing donation sooner, contact these agencies.

HOW TO HELP

START YOUR OWN DRIVE

You can gather your friends, family, colleagues, or neighbors and run a coat drive of your own. In fact, it's one of the most powerful ways to bring in more coats for those who most need them. Once you register, we'll provide you with all the promotional materials you'll need.

Daily News Food Drive

http://www.cityharvest.org/donate-food/food-drives

Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - January 13, 2017

Help City Harvest and the Daily News collect non-perishable food to keep shelves stocked at 500 soup kitchens, food pantries and other community food programs across the city. Running a food drive helps City Harvest provide good food during the holiday season when so many of our neighbors struggle to put food on their tables regularly.

Kids Can Help Competition

All participating schools will be automatically entered into the Kids Can Help Competition – and thanks to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, the school in each borough that collects the most food will win a prize! You may run your school's drive at any time between October 26 and January 13.

Help us reach our goal of collecting one million pounds to help feed hungry New Yorkers this holiday season!

Any business, organization or school can run a food drive for City Harvest.

Interested in donating funds? You can show your support for City Harvest by donating directly to the Daily News Virtual Food Drive, created specifically for this year's drive!

Run a Food Drive

Running a food drive is easy! Our digital tool kits provide you with all of the materials you will need to run your food drive including instructions, tips, flyers, and posters
