For 35 years, your donations to the Coat Drive have helped more than 2.5 million New Yorkers find warmth every winter. Warmth has many layers and is about so much more than a coat; it means not having to choose between a warm meal and a coat. Warmth means looking out for one another.
At New York Cares, we protect New Yorkers by distributing warm winter coats with care, but also by addressing other essential issues, such as food insecurity.

When you donate $25 you are helping keep
10 New Yorkers warm and also providing essential programs that help break the cycle of poverty.
With every donation, we send the message that every person is worthy of warmth, dignity and community.
No matter the season, harnessing your passion and generosity helps us protect all New Yorkers and provide whatever kind of warmth our city needs.
