The Counseling Center and Colin's Wish Spreading Warmth and Hope with Three-Week New Jersey Coat Drive
To begin 2025, The Counseling Center (TCC) is turning some of its state-of-the-art outpatient behavioral health centers into Coat Drive collection points where members of the public can donate their unwanted coats, fleeces, and gently used socks, scarves, and gloves between now and Monday February 3rd.
In partnership with the renowned local charity, Colin’s Wish, TCC is aiming to collect as many warm winter coats and jackets as possible, which will then be distributed to vulnerable New Jersey residents during what already appears to be a freezing Northeastern winter.
As temperatures drop, many of our neighbors are bracing for that winter without the basics to keep them warm. Colinswish.org, a nonprofit based in Colts Neck, NJ, works tirelessly to ensure that Jersey residents in need receive the essentials they need to survive the cold with dignity and comfort.
But this collaboration can’t work without you or TCC. This is the first year the NJ behavioral health specialists will participate in this charity event. TCC has ten centers across the state delivering outpatient treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders through intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs.
WHAT WE’RE COLLECTING AT 10 COUNSELING CENTERS- JAN. 6TH – FEB. 3RD 2025
Any coat, pair of gloves, or warm scarf can be the difference between a harsh New Jersey winter and a season of hope.

Colin’s Wish ensures all donations go directly to individuals and families in need. Nothing goes to waste—every item will find a home with someone who needs it. Clean out your closets, gather what you can, and drop off your donations today. TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE SURE NO ONE FACES WINTER ALONE.
