Brookhaven Supervisor Daniel J. Panico has announced that the 2025 Brookhaven Town Youth Bureau’s INTERFACE Coat Drive collected 1567 coats and hundreds of pairs of winter gloves, hats and scarves. The items, generously donated by residents, will be distributed to several churches, shelters, youth agencies, families, and veterans in need. The Town of Brookhaven’s 2025 Coat Drive ran from January 7 through February 7.

The Youth Bureau INTERFACE Program is a partnership between individuals, good corporate neighbors, and the Town of Brookhaven united in a common effort to provide help to Brookhaven’s less fortunate residents. It provides goods and services to those in need and addresses social issues.
