It is time for Flemington's 13th Annual Coat Drive! I am reaching out to you because we would love to invite you to join us in supporting this event. Formally hosted by the YMCA in partnership with United Way, the coat drive is now currently hosted by The Salvation Army of Flemington (this is our second year hosting the event). We hope that you will partner with us in collecting warm weather coats, hats, scarves, and gloves that will be distributed to families all across the county. Last year, we were able to distribute over 600 coats to families and individuals in need!! Thank you for your continued support of this community event.
Distribution Date
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2nd
Coat Drive Collection Information:
All donations must be made up of new and gently used coats. We are asking that your church, business/company, or organization shares the Coat Drive information with those you interact with. Feel free to print and put up the attached flyers to let your employees and colleagues know about the event. We ask that you collect coats throughout October and early November. We will not be providing boxes for collection, so please create your own collection system. Our goal is to have at least 500 coats before Thanksgiving!
Coat drop-off location:
40 East Main Street
Flemington, NJ 08822
Please note: Do not use the donation bin located in the parking lot for the coat drive! This is a separate donation bin, and anything placed inside will not be used for the Coat Distribution this year. Thank you.
Coat drop-off dates:
Starting the week of October 30th. Please schedule a drop off or pick-up time with Envoys Daniel and Leann LaBossiere. We encourage you to drop the coats off during our regular office hours: Tues-Thurs. 9:00-3:00 or Fri. 9:00-12:00
We thank you for the support that you have shown to the Flemington Community and greater Hunterdon County in previous years, and we hope that you will join us in the efforts to provide warm coats to the community again this year. Please reach out to me if you have any questions!
God bless you.
