Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D - Plainview) is once again 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 and winter accessories (gloves, hats, scarves, etc.) 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 Monday, Nov. 20 to Friday, Dec. 22.
“The overwhelming success of last year’s coat drive was a heartwarming demonstration of the tremendous generosity that permeates the Syosset and Jericho communities,” Legislator Drucker said. “When you donate a winter jacket, you are giving more than the gift of warmth - you are wrapping the person who receives that coat in a spirit of compassion and hope for a better future. I am proud to once again be partnering with the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless on such a worthwhile endeavor.”
Anyone interested in supporting the coat drive can contact Legislator Drucker’s office at 516-571-6216 or adrucker@nassaucountyny.gov for details.
