PELHAM, NY (November 5, 2025) — Christ Episcopal Church in Pelham is calling on parishioners and residents across Westchester County and New York City to donate new or gently used coats for those in need this winter.
The church’s Outreach Committee announced the 2025 Coat Drive on Wednesday, urging the community “to open their hearts and closets” and provide warmth for “our most vulnerable brothers and sisters; those who are hunable to provide the necessary warmth of a coat for themselves or their children.”
Collection boxes are placed in both the Narthex and the lower entrance inside the glass doors at Christ Church/Pelham, located at 1415 Pelhamdale Road and Shore Road. Donations of coats in all sizes—from infants to adults—are accepted seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Outreach Committee members will transport collected coats weekly to a registered distribution center. The drive runs through Dec. 31.
“With your help, one less New Yorker will face the winter without a coat,” the church stated.
