Thanks to Springfield Residents and Businesses for Supporting Winter Coat Drive

Members of the CCSSPG applaud support of Springfield community.

It is with great pleasure that we write to thank the Springfield community for all of your hard work in helping us to make the 15th Annual Jersey Cares Coat Drive a resounding success.  

Our community generously donated over 540 coats, an increase from 470 coats collected last year. More than 40,000 warm winter coats were distributed to needy men, women and children from all over New Jersey.  

We also thank all of the Springfield public schools and the Springfield Municipal Building, Springfield YMCA, Springfield Public Library, Sarah Bailey Civic Center, Hecht Family Chiropractic Care, two branches of Investors Savings Bank, Kearny Federal Savings Bank and TD Bank, which graciously served as collection sites for the coats.
