General News: Gently-Used Coats Wanted
October 06, 2010
From St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital
St. Luke's Cornwall Health System Foundation Auxiliary will host its annual “Sale of 1,000 Coats” at the New to You Boutique in New Windsor on October 15 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Shoppers will be able to purchase low-cost, gently used coats and other outerwear for men, women and children. All proceeds support SLCH’s mission to enhance programs, services and facilities.
“I’m proud of the Auxiliary’s dedication to making this event a success and delighted that we’re able to ensure that everyone in our community has access to affordable outerwear,” said Auxiliary President Eileen Osterby. “The past success of the coat sale gives us the enthusiasm and momentum to keep this tradition going.”
There are three drop-off locations to donate your outerwear, The Foundation office on the second floor of the Cornwall campus, outside the Hudson View Café in the Newburgh campus or at the New to You Boutique. “When we all work together, we can make a powerful difference in each others’ lives,” said Cathy Huggins, chair of the Coat Sale event. She added, “It’s important to support our community especially during the cold winter months.”
The coat sale complements services provided by the Auxiliary, whose members serve as advocates and ambassadors for SLCH and raise funds in support of patient-care needs.
The New to You Boutique, located at 436 Blooming Grove Turnpike in New Windsor, sells new and gently used clothing, home furnishings and accessories generously donated by civic-minded community members. All proceeds go toward enriching care and services at the hospital. Regular shop hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To accommodate holiday shopping, the Boutique will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday evenings through December 23.
