Dear friends of Saint Peter’s,
For the past four years, we have collected coats in time for Christmas to help the most vulnerable in our midst. Last year, we met our goal of 100 coats and even extended the drive through Christmas to meet the overwhelming demand.
Now we ask you to open your hearts once again. This year, we are focusing our resources on coats for families, both parents and children. Please join the Saint Peter's Action and Social Justice Cabinet for our 2026 Coat Drive, which will provide coats to our immigrant brothers and sisters who have recently arrived in New York without winter clothing. Our goal is to provide 104 coats for parents and for children ages 4–12. This year, the coats will be given out at the Skyline Hotel shelter, located at 725 10th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019.
To make giving easy, we have created a public Amazon gift list, Coats for a Friend 2026, where you can choose from a variety of adult and children's coats in different sizes. When checking out, please select the "Saint Peter's Church's Gift Registry" address so your gift comes directly to us. Members of the Action and Social Justice Cabinet will then hand out the coats in person at the shelter in early December.
If you need any help accessing the Amazon gift list, please contact our Parish Secretary, Edgar Guerrero, at eguerrero@saintpeters.org.
Our Coat Drive ends on December 1st, so please place your order by then so the coats arrive in time. Thank you for your generosity and for helping to keep our neighbors warm this winter.
