Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s Great Neck team recently delivered 68 new and slightly used winter coats for distribution to families in need across Long Island.

34 were delivered to The Inn in Hempstead whose mission is to provide a variety of essential services to those challenged by hunger, homelessness and profound poverty across Nassau County.

Another 34 coats were donated to Angels of Long Island in Patchogue whose mission is to provide is to assist and advocate for people in the Long Island community who need assistance during difficult economic times.

The coats were collected during Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s 2019 holiday season coat drive. Coats were donated by Bank clients, Great Neck residents and Bank employees — a clear demonstration of the strong community spirit and collaborative relationship that has been cultivated between the Bank and the Great Neck community over the past two years.

“The Great Neck community, once again, joined with us in providing warmth and the hope that these coats represent to so many families across Nassau and Suffolk counties,” Senior Vice President and Head of Retail Banking for Metropolitan Commercial Bank Laura Capra said. “Metropolitan Commercial Bank is committed to giving back to the communities we serve and the compassion shown by all those who donated makes this goal possible.”

Metropolitan Commercial Bank also hosted coat drives at its New York headquarters and four banking centers in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Coats collected at those locations were delivered to New York Cares for distribution to deserving families across the city’s five boroughs.
