The J.A. Coles PTA, a part of the J.A. Coles School in Scotch Plains, NJ, sponsored Maddux’s Coat Drive for the second year this Fall. We are proud to announce that 100 coats were donated, with donations being dropped off at a volunteer’s home due to virtual learning. 

Donated coats were combined with the collection at the East Orange 5th Ward Council Coat Drive/Giveaway. The coats, donated by Coles families and friends, will provide locals and homeless a much-needed warm coat this winter.

The J.A. Coles PTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to enhance the educational experience of our students and support the staff and parents at the J. A. Coles School in Scotch Plains, NJ.
