MADISON – The Rotary Club is once again collecting winter coats to support the Jersey Cares Coat Drive. This annual initiative provides warm clothing to individuals and families in need during the colder months.
From now until January 8, 2026, community members are encouraged to donate new or gently used adult or children’s coats. All donated coats may be placed in the collection bin located in the Family Center lobby of the Madison Area Young Men’s Christian Association.
Organizers emphasize coats only, noting that the drive cannot accept hats, gloves, scarves, or other clothing items.
Community members are encouraged to donate new or gently used adult or children’s coats. Donations may be dropped off at the following locations:
• Affinity Bank, 18 Elmer Street, Madison
• Madison Area Young Men’s Christian Association, 111 Kings Road, Madison
• Affinity Credit Union, 235 Ridgedale Avenue, Cedar Knolls
Rotary organizers say the generosity of local residents helps ensure that neighbors facing hardship can stay warm throughout the winter season.
