The Paper Mill Playhouse
The holiday season is in full swing at the Paper Mill Playhouse with the opening of the musical Annie this week. Continuing their tradition of sharing with the community, the Paper Mill again partners with Jersey Cares as a collection site for their winter coat drive. New and gently used coats can be brought to the theater during the run of Annie, now through December 31. Collection bins are located in the theater’s lobby at 22 Brookside Drive in Millburn, New Jersey.
This is the 20th year Paper Mill Playhouse has been a drop off location for the Jersey Cares Winter Coat Drive. Over the past two decades Paper Mill Playhouse has collected thousands of coats due to the generosity of its patrons and neighbors. Last season Paper Mill Playhouse patrons contributed over 500 coats to this worthy cause.
Mark S. Hoebee, Paper Mill Playhouse’s Producing Artistic Director said, “Paper Mill Playhouse is thrilled to partner once again with Jersey Cares. When two not-for-profit organizations come together to serve the community there is true holiday magic. Through the generosity of our patrons, Paper Mill Playhouse has been able to provide warmth to thousands of underserved New Jersey residents.”
Over the past 24 years, Jersey Cares has collected, sorted and distributed thousands of winter coats to New Jersey residents in need through this program. The donated winter coats benefit at-risk men, women, children, and infants in the area.
