Comcast coat drive will help keep people warm

Comcast Cable of New Jersey announced it will donate thousands of new coats to help New Jersey's homeless and others in need stay warmer this winter. For the month of February, Comcast will donate a new coat for every Triple Play bundle order placed throughout the Garden State.

From Feb. 1-28, Comcast will track all new bundle sales and a donation of coats will be made in early March in partnership with United Way and its designated charities throughout New Jersey.

In addition, Comcast will place drop-boxes in payment centers and administrative offices throughout the state where employees and customers can donate new or gently used coats. Comcast will match these donations with up to 1,000 additional new coats.

In Ocean County, coats may be dropped at Comcast offices in Toms River, 830 Route 37 West, Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Brick Township, 751 Brick Blvd., Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

"Comcast has always been dedicated to investing in and enriching the communities in which we live and work," said Greg Arnold, regional senior vice president, Comcast Cable New Jersey. "Our 'Bundle up and Share the Warmth' promotion gives our customers and employees an easy and rewarding way to give back to our local communities."

The Triple Play bundle is available to new customers and includes Digital Cable with On Demand, Comcast High Speed Internet and Comcast Digital Voice for $33 each per month for 12 months. Existing video customers can also sign up for Comcast High Speed Internet or Comcast Digital Voice for $33 per month for 12 months.

Comcast expects to donate thousands of coats across New Jersey. Coat drop-offs will be scheduled for early March and will be distributed throughout the more than 300 communities Comcast serves in New Jersey.

Comcast Cable employs more than 4,650 people in New Jersey, and in early January announced it will hire an additional 750 employees in 2007.
