Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, Montgomery County Police, Montgomery County Recreation, Silver Spring Cares, the Silver Spring Regional Services Center and CHEER are partnering to get coats to neighbors in need! We're raising money to purchase winter coats for the Long Branch community.
There are cold kids and adults out there now, so anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
In addition to raising funds, a coat collection will take place Dec. 27 – Jan. 5 at locations across the County.
You can drop off new or clean, gently used coats in dignity condition at the following locations starting Tuesday, Dec. 27:
- Germantown Community Recreation Center, 18905 Kingsview Road, Germantown
- Long Branch Community Recreation Center, 8700 Piney Branch Rd., Silver Spring
- Nancy H. Dacek North Potomac Community Recreation Center, 13850 Travilah Road, Rockville
- Potomac Community Recreation Center, 11315 Falls Road, Potomac
- Wheaton Community Recreation Center, 11701 Georgia Ave., Wheaton
- White Oak Community Recreation Center, 1700 April Lane, Silver Spring
- 3rd District Police Headquarters, 1002 Milestone Dr., Silver Spring
The goal is to collect more than 500 new or gently used winter coats of all sizes.
Free coats will be distributed to those in need on Friday, Jan. 6, at Long Branch Community Recreation Center. Coats will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of one coat per person. The recipient must be present to receive a coat. Registration is not required.
