On December 7, 2009 Bridge Cleaners & Tailors will kick off their annual Coats For Kids drive.  The mission of Coats For Kids is simple- anyone in need of a coat will have one. Bridge Cleaners & Tailors, Downtown Brooklyn’s premiere dry cleaner, is accepting gently used, warm kid, adult and baby sized winter coats from December 7, 2009 – January 31, 2010. This will start Coats For Kids 25th year of service.  Coats collected will be donated to Brooklyn Bureau of Community Services.

Donations will be accepted at Bridge Cleaners & Tailors, 204 Livingston Street; Sid’s Hardware, 345 Jay Street; MetroTech BID, 4 MetroTech Center, Ground Floor during business hours, CLS BID Holiday Welcome Center on Hoyt Plaza, corner of Schermerhorn Street; and the Fulton St Holiday Center at Modell’s, 464 Fulton Street.

Since the program began in 1984, Bridge Cleaners & Tailor’s has collected, cleaned free of charge and distributed thousands of gently worn winter coats to men, women and children who would otherwise be without one. The program receives invaluable support from collection, promotional, supporting and distribution partners as well as individuals.
