As winter approaches, please join us in collecting much-needed items to benefit our neighbor The Bowery Mission, whose demand for winter coats, canned goods and non-perishable foods has increased.

The following donations will be accepted in the Garden though Nov. 22.

• Coats: Large and extra-large men’s winter coats are in especially high demand, but women’s and children’s coats will also be accepted.
• Canned goods: Soup, vegetables, beans (kidney beans, cannellini beans), tomatoes, tuna.
• Non-perishable foods: Mustard, ketchup, pasta, pasta sauce, rice, potatoes, grains (barley, quinoa).
