Help Keep Fellow New Yorkers Warm This Winter By Donating A Coat Locally

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 (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 until December 1.

• 70th Precinct (154 Lawrence Avenue between Ocean Parkway and Seton Place) is always open, and will be accepting coats on behalf of NYCares until February 7.

• 67th Precinct (2820 Snyder Avenue between Nostrand and Rogers Avenues) is always open, and will be accepting coats on behalf on NYCares until February 7.

• MCU Flatbush Express (1560 Flatbush Avenue on the corner of Hillel Place) is open Monday to Friday from 9am-6pm and Saturdays from 9am-2pm, and will be accepting coats on behalf of NYCares from December 1-February 7.

If it’s easier for you to drop off elsewhere, simply enter your desired zip code into the NYCares coat drive locator, or simply start your own collection. And if you know of any other drop off sites, let us know and we’ll add them to the list!
