During this Season of Giving, the Albanian American Open Hand Association, Miriam Quin Photography and Nicodemus Social Club Filippo hosted a coat drive on Sunday, January 8 at 708 Lydig Avenue.

A majority of the coats were donated by Bronx Park East Community Association to help Bronxites in need of warmth this winter.
