New York Cares distributed winter coats to more than 150 homeless adults and children at the New York City Rescue Mission in Manhattan.

This is the 27th annual coat drive.

Fewer people are donating coats this winter because of the warm weather and organizers are worried they might not reach this year's goal of providing more than 100,000 coats to the needy.

Drop-offs can be made through the end of the year at hundreds of locations throughout the city including all police precincts, Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal.

New York Cares also accepts financial contributions and needs volunteers.

"Donating a coat is one simple thing you can do that will make it more likely that a New Yorker will both survive the winter and be able to fully function in society," said Gary Bagley, executive director of New York Cares. "I like to remind people that a coat is such a basic need like a meal.

"So imagine a child without a coat on a cold winter day. That child may not be able to go to school. An adult may not be able to go on a job interview. A senior citizen may not be able to get to the drug store to get their medication."
