New Lenox, IL – The New Lenox Police Department’s annual Coat Drive is nearing its final week, with donations accepted through Thursday, October 31. The community-wide effort helps provide winter coats to local families in need as temperatures drop.
According to the New Lenox Police Department, gently used or new coats can be dropped off at any New Lenox school, the police department, or the New Lenox Village Hall. Residents who need a coat can pick up vouchers at these same locations or at the New Lenox Township Office at 1100 S. Cedar Rd.
School District 122 students and their families are encouraged to donate at their respective schools, while community members are welcome to drop off items at public collection sites. Each donated coat will go directly to someone in the area who needs one, ensuring local residents are kept warm this winter.
Vouchers can be redeemed at Neat Repeats Resale, located at 2571 East Lincoln Highway, where recipients may select a coat free of charge. The drive runs annually throughout October, and police officials are reminding the community that this is the last week to contribute before the program ends for the season.
