Coats. "New or clean gently used." 50K needed for Sandy victims.
Drop-off centers are in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Most people I know have a connection to Brooklyn -- friends are driving back and forth from Boston all the time.
So...If you know someone, send a coat or two. If you know me, email me and I'll make sure the coats get there.
Here's the article in full just in case clicking doesn't happen:
