"The Big Bundle Up:" Donate new or gently used warm winter gear for those in need

MILWAUKEE -- "The Big Bundle Up" campaign is now underway in Wisconsin.

From now through January 2, 2018, you're encouraged to donate new or gently used gloves, hats, scarves, coats, and other warm winter gear for those in need. As part of Thursday's kickoff event, Milwaukee-based Wisconsin Knitwear donated 2,500 hats to Milwaukee Rescue Mission.
