Donate Coats to Jersey Cares at Towne Realty Group in Short Hills

The following was received from Towne Realty Group in Short Hills:

Towne Realty Group of Short Hills invites our clients, friends and neighbors in the business community to donate to the annual coat drive sponsored by the non-profit organization, Jersey Cares.

Warm, gently-used coats will be donated to Jersey Cares as part of its 17th annual coat drive, which has a goal to collect and distribute 40,000 winter coats to at-risk men, women, children and infants in NJ, in time for the holidays this year.

Now through Dec. 15th, Towne Realty Group’s Short Hills office, at 511 Millburn Ave., on the corner of Campbell Road, will accept warm, clean and gently-used coats men’s, women’s, children’s and infant’s coats. We will transport the donations to a nearby collection site for distribution. We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and the day after, but are open all other days for donations.

We also invite you to get your children involved by participating in the Note in a Coat Program:

The Note in a Coat program works to increase the number of children's coats donated and to personalize the experience for those receiving and giving coats.

Through Note in a Coat, children donating coats, write short notes to children receiving coats through the Jersey Cares Coat Drive. The notes are individually placed in the pockets of each coat. The children typically write short notes saying hello, telling the recipient something about themselves, expressing their favorite memory in the coat, and that they hope the recipient enjoys the coat. The goal of this program is to engage children in service by making the experience interactive and meaningful.

Donations can be made delivered to the office Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
