The Annual Coat & Toy Drive is a collaborative community event hosted by Garden State Rainbow Sports and the Fade to Black Project, dedicated to bringing warmth and joy to those in need during the holiday season. Taking place at The Pet Shop JC in Jersey City, this event invites guests to donate new or gently used coats and new toys, all of which will be distributed by St. John’s Lutheran Parish to local families and individuals in need. It’s more than a drive — it’s a celebration of community, compassion, and the power of giving, all set to a backdrop of great food, drinks, and music in a welcoming, inclusive space.
