Town of Brookhaven collects over 1,500 coats during Winter Coat Drive

Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Daniel J. Panico has announced that the 2025 Brookhaven Town Youth Bureau’s INTERFACE Coat Drive collected 1,567 coats, as well as hundreds of pairs of winter gloves, hats and scarves, to be distributed to several churches, shelters, youth agencies, families and veterans in need.

The items were generously donated by residents from January 7 through February 7.

The Youth Bureau INTERFACE Program is a partnership between individuals, good corporate neighbors, and the Town of Brookhaven united in a common effort to provide help to Brookhaven’s less fortunate residents. It provides goods and services to those in need and addresses social issues.
