No doubt you’ve noticed how cold it’s gotten over the past couple of days, and this is just the beginning–so if you’ve got an extra new or gently used winter coat hanging around, consider donating it at one of these drop off locations in and around Ditmas Park:

- **[Cafe Madeline ](http://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-madeline-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com)**(1603 Cortelyou Road between E 16th and E 17th Streets) is open seven days a week from 7am-9pm and **will be accepting coats on behalf of the [Flatbush-Tompkins Congregational Church](https://sites.google.com/site/flatbushtompkins/?ref=bklyner.com) until December 1.**

If it’s easier for you to drop off elsewhere, simply enter your desired zip code into the [NYCares coat drive locator](http://www.newyorkcares.org/coat-drive/map?ref=bklyner.com), or simply [start your own collection](http://orig.newyorkcares.org/volunteer/holiday%5Fvolunteering/coat%5Fdrive/team%5Freg.php?ref=bklyner.com). And if you know of any other drop off sites, let us know and we’ll add them to the list!
