Donate Winter Items to the Port Washington Coat Drive

The Port Washington School District officially began their 2015 Winter Coat Drive on Monday to help families in need in the community.

As the harsh winter approaches, many people in the Port Washington community are unable to afford winter clothing and blankets for themselves and their families.

The Port Washington Parents’ Council and School District Winter Coat Drive are asking members of the community to donate winter coats, jackets, sweaters, hats, scarves, boots, gloves and blankets to help this cause.

Bring all donations to any school in the district, at the Manorhaven Pool, from Monday to Friday.

There will be collection boxes in the lobbies.

Local families who are in need of winter clothing can stop by Manorhaven Pool:

• Thursday from 6-8 p.m. (Open only to families with tickets that were provided by the schools.)
• Friday from 1-4 p.m. (Open only to families with tickets that were provided by the schools.)
• Saturday from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. (Open to the general public.)
