School-based social workers across the county told us that their students were coming to school on cold winter days wearing layers of sweatshirts because they did not have a winter coat.

​

The Sharing Shelf responded and launched a pilot program, Coats for School, in November 2021 to address this need. Under this program, we provide schools with a high percentage of students living in poverty with an on-hand inventory of new and excellent condition used coats in a range of sizes.  

​

Each school selected receives an initial supply of winter coats and hangers. They can apply for replenishment as needed.

​

We need YOUR help! We need an additional 250 coats each month (through January 31, 2022) in sizes 5T through Adult XXL.  Visit: Old Navy, Gap, Amazon, Target,  or your other favorite store. You can schedule a drop-off or ship to: The Sharing Shelf, 47 Purdy Avenue, Port Chester NY 10573.
