The Cash for Coats Drive is a community event collecting funds toward the purchase of NEW winter items for Albany kids in need.
For the last 12 years, the City of Albany and its partners have proudly facilitated the purchase and distribution of over 8,000 NEW, quality winter coats and tens of thousands of new winter accessories to Albany’s children in need. Last year garnered the initiative’s largest amount of monetary donations from committed corporate sponsors and private donors. With the challenges we face this year we need your help more than ever.
