Make a difference in the life of a child by keeping them warm this winter, but how?

Major Dan Jennings talks about Coats for Kids at Salvation Army Distribution Center

MILWAUKEE -- Make a difference in the life of a child in need by keeping them warm this winter. Laura hangs at the Salvation Army to get details on Condella's Coats for Kids.

Once again FOX6 is asking the generous people of southeast Wisconsin to go through their closets and donate gently used coats to help keep kids warm this winter. ALL sizes of coats are welcomed and needed. ALL sizes of children’s coats for the younger kids, and ALL sizes of adult coats for the teens and older children. The donated coats will be cleaned for free by ITU Absorb Tech and distributed by the Salvation Army.

Laura talk about the importance of the Coats of Kids drive

Donations accepted September 14th through October 11th
