The [26th annual New York Cares Coat Drive](https://www.newyorkcares.org/coat-drive?ref=bklyner.com) kicks off today and runs through December 31\. There are more than 280 locations around New York City where you can drop off a clean, gently used coat to help neighbors in need — let’s warm our city up! Here’s where you can donate locally:

> **NYPD 66th Precinct (5822 16th Avenue)**

- All hours, every day

> **NYPD 62nd Princinct (1925 Bath Avenue)**

- All hours, every day

> **Life Quality BMW (9326 4th Avenue)**

- Monday-Saturday 9am-8pm; Sunday 11am-4pm

> **61st Precinct (2575 Coney Island Avenue)**

- All hours, every day

Organizations interested in hosting a public collection site or setting up a drive of your own for the New York Cares Coat Drive should [register online](https://www.newyorkcares.org/coat-drive/team-reg?ref=bklyner.com); coats will need to be delivered to their warehouse by December 31, 2014.

There are also ways beyond coat donations to help the drive. Volunteers are needed at several [upcoming coat distribution events](https://www.newyorkcares.org/search/projects/results?issues=201&ref=bklyner.com), and there are some benefit [events](https://www.newyorkcares.org/coat-drive-events?ref=bklyner.com), as well. Also, New York Cares estimates that for every $50 given, 16 coats can be dispersed. Financial donations can be made [here](https://www.kintera.org/AutoGen/Simple/Donor.asp?ievent=25352&ref=bklyner.com).
