METAIRIE, La –  The kids from St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School have the spirit of the season.

They’re donating hundreds of coats.

The coats go to kids who would spend a cold winter without them.

It’s all part of Coats for Kids, a WGNO mission for 23 years now.

WGNO News with a Twist features guy Wild Bill Wood is waiting with big boxes for the kids from St. Catherine to drop off their donations.

Since its inception, Coats for Kids has donated more than 72,000 coats to area children in need.

Helping out is easy. Drop off a coat at any of the participating locations below.

We’ll take it from there, providing  pick-up, cleaning and delivery to our distribution centers thanks to our partners – Blaze Express Courier Service and Russell’s Cleaning Services!

You can donate until January 2019.
