Coats and Toys Collection at NYS Office Building in Binghamton

The State Office Building in Binghamton is one of the collection sites over the next few weeks for unwrapped toys, school supplies and coats.

The New York annual statewide holiday donation drive starts December 9.

Items collected at state facilities will be distributed to needy families across New York.

The state Office of General Services has set up drop off locations, most in the government offices in municipalities like Albany and New York City, but collections are also being done at some New York State Police barracks.

In the Southern Tier, the collection site is the state office building on Hawley Street in Binghamton and the Homer Folks Facility on Hill Street in Oneonta.
