• American Legion Bayonne Post 19, 683 Broadway, Hours of operation Monday thru Friday 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM, Weekends 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM

Again this year we are assisting homeless Veterans and Veterans who can not afford coats for the winter thru the Hudson County VA Clinic in Jersey City, and Community Hope, they are the largest most comprehensive program for homeless Veterans in New Jersey. The Lyons Veterans Administration facility can accommodate 95 veterans.

 We were also asking for children’s coats for the children in the Bayonne school system, some of whom may not have a coat to protect them during the coming winter months.
