Meteorologist Brooke Laizer is out at Holy Cross School in New Orleans (5500 Paris Avenue) asking for coat donations for the kids who need it most as a part of our annual Coats for Kids program.
Keeping our kids warm is not a just a necessity but should always be our priority as a community.
It’s predicted to a be cold winter and donating a new or lightly-used coat to WGNO’s 2022 Coats For Kids helps make our goal happen. A tradition that has spanned 26 years, WGNO and its community partners have collected, cleaned and donated over 77,000 Coats For Kids in New Orleans and surrounding areas.
With the support of community partners such as Blaze Courier, Entergy New Orleans, Russell’s Cleaning, MPress Printing, and NOLA Box, we make it easy for you to provide warmth and comfort for those who need them most during these cold winter days… our kids.
