Suffolk County Legis. Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) is hosting a coat drive for needy county families.
“In addition to coats, donated items may include new or gently used sweaters, sweatshirts and blankets,” Anker said in a statement.
Items can be dropped at Anker’s Mount Sinai office, 620 Rte. 25A, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The last day for donations is next Wednesday.
Anker is partnering on the coat drive with the nonprofit group Every Child’s Dream.
