Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s Great Neck Team Provides 98 Warm Winter Coats for Long Island Families in Need

Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s Great Neck team recently delivered 98 new and slightly used winter coats to Long Island Cares, Inc. for distribution to families in need all across Long Island. The coats were collected during Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s December 2016 holiday season coat drive. Coats were donated by Bank clients, Great Neck residents and Bank employees — a clear demonstration of the strong community spirit and collaborative relationship that has been cultivated between the Bank and the Great Neck community over Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s inaugural year in Great Neck.

“Due to the overwhelming generosity and compassion of the Great Neck community, we were able to far surpass the expectations we initially had for this coat drive,” stated Laura Capra, senior vice president and head of retail banking for Metropolitan Commercial Bank. “We are committed to giving back to the communities we serve. One way we do this on Long Island is by taking a leadership role in working with charitable organizations dedicated to providing those less fortunate across Nassau and Suffolk counties. It was very gratifying for all of us at Metropolitan Commercial Bank to be able to provide warmth this winter to deserving Long Islanders through the auspices of the Long Island Cares organization.”

“We welcome the donation of warm, winter coats from our friends at Metropolitan Commercial Bank,” noted William Gonyou, Long Island Cares Community Events and Food Drive manager. “We are honored to have the support of Metropolitan Commercial Bank and look forward to continuing our partnership with the Bank in the future.”

Metropolitan Commercial Bank also hosted coat drives at its New York headquarters and four banking centers in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Coats collected at these locations were delivered to New York Cares for distribution to deserving families across the city’s five boroughs.
