Hudson Valley NY: Where Can You Donate Winter Coats and Hats?

The weather is about to turn cold, and you might be able to keep yourself warm, but what about others who cannot? There are many ways that you can help others keep warm this winter.

One of the simplest ways you can help others is to donate coats, jackets, hats, gloves, heck any type of winter clothing to help others. You can purchase new items to donate, or you can check your closets for items that you have never or barely worn to donate.

Where can you find the coat or winter clothing drives in the Hudson Valley this winter?

Here are the drives in Orange County NY:

• Newburgh Brewing Company, 88 South Colden St, Newburgh is collecting coats in conjunction with Billy Joe's Ribworks, 26 Front St, Newburgh from November 1 through December 17. Collected coats will benefit the Newburgh Armory. As a bonus if you drop off your coat at Newburgh Brewing Co, you (those over the age of 21) can get a free beer.
