Manchester's Annual Coat Drive Begins Nov. 1

MANCHESTER, NJ — Manchester Township is preparing for its annual coat collection effort at Town Hall.

The effort, in cooperation with Jersey Cares, collects clean used coats or new coats for donation to those in need.

Coats are needed for men, women and kids in any and all sizes and styles, and snowsuits are needed as well, especially for children.

"If you are cleaning out your closets, or have treated yourself to a new coat for the winter, or your kids have outgrown their coats, please think of dropping off the old ones at our bin located in the lobby at Town Hall," organizers said.

The coat drive begins Nov. 1 and runs through Dec. 6. Town Hall, at 1 Colonial Dr. in Manchester, is open from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

"Someone in New Jersey will welcome YOUR gift of warmth!" the organizers said.
