Help Warm Up New York!

Donate coats, money, or both to the 37th Annual New York Cares Coat Drive.

Every New Yorker deserves to feel warm…and you can make a real difference.

We are collecting new and gently-used, laundered coats in the Temple’s upper lobby until January 25, 2026.

Each $25 donation keeps 10 New Yorkers warm and also provides essential programs that help break the cycle of poverty.

We’ve surpassed our fundraising goal of $500, but the need continues. Use RTFH’s Link to contribute and spread warmth throughout our city. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.

With each gift, we send the message that every person is worthy of warmth, dignity, and community.

Thank you to our warm-hearted Temple family.
