Princeton Police Host Second Annual Winter Coat Drive
The Princeton Police Department is holding its second annual winter coat drive until Nov. 2. Residents can donate winter coats in good, usable condition for both adults and children. All donated coats will be given to people in the Princeton community who need a warm winter coat. The police department will work with the human services department to match coats with those in need.
More than 2,000 pounds of clothing was collected in the 2013 coat drive. Police officers hope to surpass that amount this year.
Donations may be left in specially marked bins located in the lobby outside the Princeton Police Department Communications Center at 1 Valley Road.

My community group would like to organize a toy drive for kids for the holidays. Does anyone know of people or other organizations in Princeton we should connect with?
