Donating Coats on Long Island -
I have several winter coats that DH has barely worn, if not at all. Can anyone recommend a place Ican donate them on Long Island?
I saw Gerty's post about NYC - but I can't get the coat to the city, I live and work on Long Island.

Re: Donating Coats on Long Island -
There's this:
The Family and Children's Association has kicked off its new "Open Your Closet...Open Your Heart" campaign to help Long Islanders in need.
The campaign is accepting clothing for three different programs: the Dress for Success program, the Cold Weather Coat Drive and the Co-op Nursery Thrift Shop.
"Dress for Success ... Not Just for Women" is a program supporting men and women in the agency's vocational education program by providing appropriate attire for job interviews. The Cold Weather Coat Drive will collect donations of coats, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters and boots to help those in need during the winter. The Co-op Nursery Thrift Shop is designed to help parents taking positive steps by gaining literacy, securing employment and moving their families out of the poverty cycle.
FCA is also accepting donations of clothing, toys, small appliances, kitchenware, household goods and furniture to be made available for nursery families at a nominal fee. For more information on making a donation or to learn more about the FCA, call (516) 746-0350, Ext. 336.
or you can do this:
Donating is a great thing, and getting something back in return is an extra bonus. That's exactly what Banana Republic and Goodwill are set to do. From Oct. 16 through Oct. 26, take a trip to your local Banana Republic store, drop off a gently worn sweater or coat, and receive 30 percent off any regular priced item. Pretty simple, huh?
All your donated items will be sold at Goodwill stores nationwide. Proceeds will benefit training and employment programs for people with disabilities, those who lack education, and those facing economic challenges. Come on, dust off that coat you haven't worn since 1996 and give it to someone who needs it.
