Mt. Zion Baptist Association

For over 10 years, NC Baptists have participated in collecting coats and serving New York City by distributing them in late November/early
December throughout New York City through the Coats for the City.

 

This year Mt. Zion Baptist Association will be a collection Center for this ministry. We are delighted to be a part of this vital ministry, in helping others. You will be seeing this information throughout the year to remind you to drop off coats, register to volunteer, or have your church participate
by donating financially.

 

The goal for NC Baptist Churches is 10,000 coats for 2023.

​

Volunteer

 

Your church can send teams! This is a great entry-level mission trip opportunity that is great for families, college students and adults.

Teams can sign up  at:

Donations

 

Churches may participate either through donating heavy coats, or by donating financially, to the project. You can apply for a grant through your local Walmart in order to purchase new or gently used coats, appropriate for an NYC winter.
