Donate coats for community members in need this winter
The Dutchess Outreach will once again be collecting coats and jackets for community members this winter.
Between October 1 and October 31, drop-off clean coats in good condition (no stains, tears or broken zippers) to the Adriance Memorial Library or the Boardman Road Branch Library in Poughkeepsie during normal library hours. Boys’ jackets and adult plus size coats are in special need this year.
Donations of lightweight jackets and clothing will not be accepted as Dutchess Outreach says they cannot handle the extra capacity for these items.
The coats collected throughout the month of October will then be donated to members of the community at various coat giveaway dates this fall.
