Towne Realty Group, LLC Collects Coats for Jersey Cares

The local business encourages locals to donate unworn or gently worn coats to the annual Jersey Cares Coat Drive.

Submitted by Lynn Keller


This year, The Jersey Cares Coat Drive is proud to partner with The 2014 NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, Wal-Mart and New York Cares to create The Super Community Coat Drive, the largest Coat Drive ever held in the tri-state area -- and likely the largest Coat Drive in history.

From Nov. 15 through Dec. 15, Towne Realty Group, LLC located at 511 Millburn Ave., Short Hills (on the corner of Campbell Road) will accept warm, clean and gently-used coats for men, women and children. We will transport the donations to a nearby collection site for distribution.

It is the 18th year Jersey Cares has been doing the coat drive and the organization plans to collect and distribute more than 60,000 “gently used” winter coats to men, women and children in need throughout New Jersey, a 50-percent increase over last year. Over the past 17 years, Jersey Cares has collected, sorted and distributed more than 400,000 coats to New Jersey residents through our annual drive.

Companies, churches, fire departments, police stations, schools and other organizations will set up collections across the state to collect coats.

Collection site representatives will deliver the coats to the nearest container site, where volunteers will then sort through the donated coats and bag them for pick-up. Nonprofit organizations will then pick up their coats and distribute them to people in need.

 

Donations can be delivered to the office Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. TRG will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and the day after, but will be open all other days for donations.
