Albany County Cares about our Veterans Coat Drive is a success! The final delivery of coats donated for area veterans and their families took place today at the Veterans Miracle Center and HATAS. Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy helped unload bags of coats with veterans and the Best Cleaners crew at the Veterans Miracle Center.

“I want to thank everyone who donated a new or gently used coat to help a veteran and his or her family,” said County Executive McCoy. “It’s because of our generous community that we were able to collect 1,000 coats that were cleaned by Best Cleaners. That was our goal. Our partners at HATAS and the Veterans Miracle Center are distributing these coats. Thank you to Tim and Catherine McCann at Best Cleaners for their continued support.” 

Best Cleaners will continue to accept coats throughout the winter for future distribution.
