COMMUNITY SERVICE - ANNUAL WINTER COAT DRIVE

Our Annual coat drive is open! Collection bins are located at each school entrance and remain through Thursday, December 12th!

As temperatures drop, the Sharing Shelf finds it crucial to have a supply of warm clothing on-hand to meet the demand for winter’s coldest days. The Sharing Shelf is a children’s clothing bank that addresses needs from infants to teens in all of Westchester County.

This year, we are collecting puffer coats in neutral colors that work for all genders, snow pants, winter coats, as well as other winter wear. You can donate items in new or gently used condition.

Specifically, there is an acute need for:

• NEW hats and gloves for toddlers and young children
• Items in sizes 5T, 10/12, 14/16, and Teen/Adult M
• Please check out our TARGET Registry Here and select “Greenacres Elementary School Community Service” during checkout

Join us in bringing warmth to those in need—your support makes all the difference. Last winter, over 75 kids were warmer thanks to your contributions.

With Black Friday sales coming up, this is also a great time to keep in mind that unopened LEGO Sets will be collected in March for the Paulie Strong Foundation drive.

Please direct any questions to Laura Garnick Motskin or Mirae Baik.

Our parent volunteers are the driving force of our PTA, helping us provide the Greenacres community with a multitude of activities and experiences.  Some programs we run include after school clubs, fun family events, community service projects and other enrichment programming.  Without your help, none of this would be possible.  

Please consider volunteering for the 2024- 2025 school year by filling out our volunteer form HERE. 

You can find a description of all of the PTA committees on our website. If you have any questions about the responsibilities of a particular committee or the time commitment, please feel free to reach out to Tulika Khemani. Thank you and I look forward to working together in the year ahead!
