(SYOSSET and JERICHO, N.Y.) - Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D - Plainview) is joining forces with the Syosset and Jericho Public Libraries to support an annual coat drive spearheaded by the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.
Donors are invited to drop off new and gently used winter coats at the Syosset Public Library, 225 S. Oyster Bay Road, Syosset, N.Y. 11791 and the Jericho Public Library, 1 Merry Lane, Jericho N.Y. 11753 during normal business hours from Friday, Nov. 18 to Wednesday, Dec. 21.
“When a person donates a winter jacket, they are not just giving the gift of warmth - they are wrapping its recipient in a spirit of compassion and hope for the future,” Legislator Drucker said. “With winter on the horizon, each of us can do our part to help keep every person in Nassau County safe and warm. I am proud to once again be partnering with the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless on such a worthwhile endeavor.”
Anyone interested in donating a coat can contact Legislator Drucker’s office at 516-571-6216 or adrucker@nassaucountyny.gov for details.
