Coccia Coat Drive Continues to Help Those in Need and You Can Too!

Superstorm Sandy and the upcoming Nor'easter has left many cold and desperate. Coccia gives you an avenue to help through their annual coat drive.

Superstorm Sandy has left New Jersey in a frantic state, however you can help those less fortunate by donating winter wear to Coccia Realty of Madison as they continue their 2nd Annual Coat Drive ending November 15th.

“Now more than ever, our communities and state need your help.” states Jeffrey Halpern, Vice President - Branch Manager of the realty firm, “We have gone through some drastic times in the past week and the upcoming winter as storms have decimated many areas.  We are here to help.”

Last year the company collected over 2000 pieces of winter wear through its five offices throughout Northern New Jersey.  The winter wear was donated to several denominational charities throughout Morris, Essex, Bergen and Hudson Counties through Catholic Charities.
