Act Now: Donate to the 25th Annual Coats for Kids Program

Clarkstown officials have kicked off the town’s 25th Annual Coats for Kids Program.

The program runs through December 5, 2014.

This long-running service provides coats for people in the community who might not otherwise be able to buy something warm for the winter.

Donors may drop off coats, in gently worn conditions, to the Town Hall lobby or at one of the participating dry cleaners—who will clean the coats free of charge, and then forward them to one of the distribution agencies located throughout Rockland County.

Sponsors:

• The Byne Group, who designed the posters free of charge
• New Born Printing, who printed the posters free of charge
• Florian Association of Rockland County, a group of retired FDNY members living in Rockland
• 100.7 WHUD Radio
• Patch.com
• Clarkstown High School South students who designed flyers to distribute around the school and the community

“With the help and generosity of the people of Clarkstown, I am certain that this very worthwhile program will once again be a huge success,” said Town Supervisor Alex Gromack.
