In its first week, the annual coat drive hosted by Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D - Plainview) has already netted dozens of donations for the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless. Pictured above, Legislator Drucker and officials at the Syosset Public Library display some of the donations that have already come in.
“At the dawn of a new holiday season, it is so wonderful to witness the tremendous generosity of Nassau County residents on display,” Legislator Drucker said. “Thanks to these contributions, our coat drive is already off to a tremendously successful start - but our work has just begun. I encourage every resident to give what they can in support of our collective mission of ensuring that everyone has the warm winter coat that they need and deserve.”
Donors can continue to make their contributions at designated drop-off locations at the Syosset Public Library, 225 S. Oyster Bay Road, Syosset, N.Y. 11791 and the Jericho Public Library, 1 Merry Lane, Jericho N.Y. 11753 during normal business hours through Wednesday, Dec. 21.
