Did you know 90% of homeless adults need a new, warm coat each winter because they have no place to keep one over the summer? It's not just the homeless who need our help; thousands of New Yorkers are forced to choose between buying a winter coat and putting food on the table, or meeting other basic survival needs, every year. That's why the New York Cares Coat Drive is such a vital lifeline.

This year's Coat Drive collections are now finished, but it's not too late to help:

• Make a Financial Donation - we rely on financial support to make the Coat Drive possible. Please give as generously as you can.

Since 1989, the New York Cares Coat Drive has provided over 1,100,000 coats to men, women and children in need in New York City. We are grateful to all the generous New Yorkers who donated coats, made financial donations and provided other support this year.

Check back in early February when we announce the Winter Warmth Awards, recognizing organizations that collected the most coats this year.
