St. Francis Medical Center Holds Annual Blanket & Coat Drive

Items donated to the homeless and those in need

TRENTON, NJ—St. Francis Medical Center recently held its annual blanket and coat drive as part of its mission to help those in need. St. Francis employees and local community members donated blankets, coats, socks, and hygiene products to New Horizon Health Services; and the City of Trenton’s Coordinated Entry and Assessment Services (CEAS) Center, a one-stop facility that battles homeless issues.

The drive brought in hundreds of items and filled the pews of the chapel within St. Francis Medical Center. Two trucks were packed to take the items to each location.
