LUPINACCI JOINS COAT DRIVE KICKOFF
Lupinacci recently lent his support to Douglas Elliman Real Estate as they launched their second annual winter coat drive in Huntington.
Assemblyman Chad A. Lupinacci (R,C,I-South Huntington) lent his support to Douglas Elliman Real Estate as they launched their second annual winter coat drive at their Huntington office on November 17.
The drive benefits Huntington Station-based Helping Hand Rescue Mission, a church that recently celebrated its 50th anniversary providing outreach services to aid the area’s poor.
“I am so pleased to see that local businesses are beginning their efforts to help the needy in anticipation of the upcoming holiday season,” Lupinacci said. “A coat drive, like today’s held by Douglas Elliman, not only help those who may be unable to afford a good coat for New York’s frigid winters, but also unites our community in the spirit of giving.”

Last year, the drive netted 550 coats. This year, Douglas Elliman has expanded the month-long drive to all of its 25 Long Island branches and is hoping to exceed 1,000 coats. They are welcoming donations of new or gently-used coats and outerwear.
