2016 Annual Coat Drive - Successful!!

Coat drive ends successfully

We wish to thank all the residents of Manchester Township that so generously donated coats to our annual coat drive. This year we collected 384 coats! That's 384 men, women and children, in NJ, that will have a coat to keep warm this winter.

In addition, we wish to send a HUGE thank you to the person or group who crafted the mittens and hats, purses, bibs and backpacks that were dropped off at town hall. We sent the mittens and hats to Head Start in Manchester, the backpacks, purses and bibs were sent to The Children's Home Society of Toms River and to Regional Day school in Manchester.

Thank you so much for your generosity! Manchester residents are the best!
