Article Image Alt Text

Although the winter has been mild, nighttime temperatures this week are forecast to drop into the 20s, and Livingston Philanthropies Inc. is continuing its appeal for warm coats. “Those living out on the streets, in shelters and other not-so-nice places need warm coats, jackets, hats, scarves and gloves immediately,” said Jeff “the Coat Guy” Friedman, founder and director of the Livingston-based charity. “LPI is reaching out again to our philanthropic neighbors.”
The early part of the week was mild, but, said Friedman, “Temperatures are dropping into the 20s starting Thursday night. The need is huge. It’s the hard, cruel world on the cold streets.”
