Until December 20, 2013 if you donate a coat that's either new/clean but gently used please drop it off in the
Chatham 14
lobby. The cineplex is located at 210 W. 87th Street and not only are
they accepting coats they want toy donations as well. According to this
article from
DNA Info:
For every new or "gently"' used coat donated during the theater's first annual winter coat drive, the theater will give away a voucher good for a large popcorn.
Venisha White-Johnson, director of operations for the Chatham 14
Theaters, said while the theater has done food drives in the past, the
coat drive started after she saw so many kids coming to the movies in
shoddy jackets.
"I see kids coming to the theater with coats too small, worn out and in
some cases not suitable for cold weather," she said. "Times are hard for
everyone, especially single mothers, so having a coat drive seemed more
appropriate."
The donations are being accepted daily 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Dec.
20 at the theater at 210 W. 87th St. A voucher that can be redeemed
anytime is given for every coat donated, and there is no limit to how
many coats a person can donate.
Well we call for
donations to food pantries this year, and now donations
for winter coats. More than one way to provide a blessing for someone
this holiday season!
