In its 12th year, the Winter Coat Drive provides winter coats, jackets, hats, mittens and boots FREE to families and people in need throughout the Hudson Valley. In 2014, the Annual Coat Drive gave away over 1600 pieces of winter gear. Demand was the highest ever and donations were at an all-time low.

RUPCO is also hosting a Winter Coat Drive Distribution Day on Thursday, December 10 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at The Kirkland, 2 Main Street, Kingston.
