WEST CALDWELL, NJ - West Caldwell Police announced this week that, for the eleventh year in a row, the department is participating in the annual Jersey Cares Coat Drive. The program is organized by West Caldwell Detective Paul Mazzeo who works with the students in the James Caldwell High School Key Club to collect gently used coats which will be distributed to those in need.


Coats are being accepted at the police department, and can be dropped off anytime until Dec. 23. The station is located at 21 Clinton Road, West Caldwell.

"The goal of this drive is to collect and distribute used coats
during the winter season to those who are less fortunate," Mazzeo commented.
“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the local community
as well as to the James Caldwell High School Key Club
for making this program such a great success.” 

Jersey Cares annually collects over 35,000 coats which they then disperse to nonprofit organizations throughout New Jersey.
