☃ For the past 18 years, the City of Albany and its local partners have proudly facilitated the purchase and distribution of over 17,000 new, high-quality winter coats and tens of thousands of winter accessories to the children of Albany who are in need. The donations received in 2025 from private and corporate donors allowed for more than 1,000 coats to be distributed across 10 of Albany’s schools. Today, I ask you to assist us with this year’s goal of providing every child in need with winter essentials. Please consider donating to this worthy cause.
