Marblehead School Of Ballet & North Shore Civic Ballet Launch Sixth Annual Winter Coat & Pajama Drive

The Marblehead School of Ballet (MSB) and the North Shore Civic Ballet (NSCB) will host their sixth annual Winter Coat & Pajama Drive now through December 14, inviting local residents and businesses to donate new or gently used winter coats for children and adults and new pajamas for children ages 0–6.

Coats will be cleaned free of charge by Anton’s Cleaners and distributed through the Coats for Kids & Families Partners Distribution Network; pajamas will be donated to Lynn Economic Opportunity to support families in need.

“We invite the community to join us in spreading warmth by donating gently used or new winter coats for all ages, as well as new pajamas for children,” said Paula K. Shiff, Director of MSB. Rosemary Grant, NSCB board member, added that the drive builds on prior years’ efforts to support families facing winter hardships.
