Coat Drive 2017
New Jersey State Troopers distributed 580 coats to students of Elizabeth Public Schools during their 6th Annual Coat Drive on January 10.
The donation, collection, and distribution of coats to Elizabeth Public Schools students was made possible through the tremendous assistance and collaboration with Elizabeth Public Schools team members, Wakefern, Elizabeth Police Department, Elizabeth Fire Department, Union County Sheriff's Department, Union County Department of Corrections, Hispanic Law Enforcement Association of Union County, and At Heart's Length, along with community friends and families. Retail companies that assisted with the coat drive included Old Navy stores at the Mills at Jersey Gardens in Elizabeth, Hamilton Marketplace in Hamilton, and Aviation Plaza in Linden as well as Sears and Boscov’s of Woodbridge Center Mall in Woodbridge.
The annual community outreach event has been a small gesture of the memorable impact troopers strive to make towards those they proudly serve and is reflective of their mindset to bridge the gap between those in uniform and communities that have minimal interaction with the New Jersey State Police.
While the winter weather is often unpredictable, one thing that remains certain is people needing winter coats to make it through the cold. Through their generosity and desire to help the greater community, the New Jersey State Troopers and their partners continue to help Elizabeth Public Schools students stay warm each year.
