GBR Annual Winter Drive Collects Over 600 Coats

Greater Bergen Realtors® Community Service Committee partnered with Jersey Cares for their 2023 Annual Winter Coat Drive, collecting over 600 new and gently used winter coats of all sizes for local communities throughout November and December. With eight participating GBR brokerage offices, the committee reached a record-breaking number of donations since its partnership with Jersey Cares. For over 20 years, Jersey Cares Coat Drive has mobilized the collection and distribution of thousands of gently used winter coats to men, women, children, and infants in need. Companies, churches, police stations, schools, and other organizations collect coats throughout the drive and deliver them to a central location, where volunteers then organize the donated coats and package them for pick-up.

Coats, Cans, and Coffee Drive Supports Communities in Need

Nexus Association of Realtors® Young Professionals Network held their annual Coats, Cans, and Coffee Charity Drive, where members generously contributed non-perishable items, as well as new and gently used coats, gloves, hats, and more. Members visited the NEXUS offices to drop off donations, enjoying complimentary coffee and pastries while networking and exchanging business cards. All collected food and clothing items were donated to Angels Community Outreach in Pitman and New Beginnings Behavioral Health in Camden.
