How to become a Court Appointed Special Advocate

Winter Coat Drive

Every child we serve deserves to have a warm winter coat. This year, our goal is to collect 450 new coats to ensure every child who needs one, has one. We're calling for coats for girls, coats for boys, coats for young children, and coats for teens — especially teens.

Coat Drop Off: Monday-Friday at 415 Hamburg Turnpike, D2, Wayne or Tuesday & Friday at 1143 East Jersey Street, 2F, Elizabeth. Any questions, contact Diego Rojas at diego@childfocusnj.org or call (973) 832-4002.

Or Order Online: If dropping off a new coat is not convenient, shop our Amazon Wishlist!
