Donors are invited to drop off new and gently used winter coats and winter accessories (gloves, hats, scarves, etc.) at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Library, 999 Old Country Road, Plainview, N.Y. 11803; Syosset Public Library, 225 S.

“Last winter, thanks to the tremendous generosity of communities across the 16th District, we gathered more than 500 warm winter coats for deserving families throughout our region – and with your support, we are hopeful that we will be able to touch even more lives this holiday season,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “When you donate a winter jacket, you are giving more than the gift of warmth - you are wrapping its recipient in spirit of compassion and hope for a better future. I am grateful to once again be partnering with the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless and our outstanding network of sponsors to bring forth this vital effort.”
