Assemblyman Dave McDonough (R,C,I-Merrick) today met with students from the Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center. The student council organized a coat drive and donated the coats they received to McDonough’s annual Coats for Kids drive.

“I want to thank all the students at the Charles A. Reinhard Early Childhood Center for making such a kind gesture to the less fortunate,” said McDonough. “As the colder weather approaches, it’s incredibly important that we ensure all our local children have warm coats to protect them from the elements. My office continues to accept donations. All jackets donated will go directly to help a young boy or girl in our community. I want to again thank the students, faculty and staff at the Reinhard Early Childhood Center for their support and encourage all who are able to make a donation.”

McDonough’s Coats for Kids drive will continue through the holiday season. Donations are being accepted at his district office, 404 Bedford Avenue in Bellmore weekdays between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
