Coats for the Children

Coats for Children Header

Thanks to your generosity, WRAL’s Coats For The Children campaign will make this winter much warmer for the children of our communities.

Our 2012 campaign wrapped up Dec. 31st and was our biggest collection in 24 years! Together, we raised $90,000 and collected 10,000 coats and 1,000 for Salvation Army families.

The Salvation Army, along with our community sponsors, Jiffy Lube and First Citizens Bank, thank you for spreading warmth AND joy to local families in need.

There are five ways to donate this year!

1. Donate new or gently used coats and new toys at participating Jiffy Lube and First Citizens Bank by December 31st

Find your nearest location using the search box in the "Drop-Off Locations" section below.

2. Text message a donation

Text “Coats” to 85944 to donate $10 to the Coats for the Children campaign. The donation will be added to your mobile bill. Messaging & data rates may apply. Go to hMGF.org/t for terms and help. WRAL.com will match every $10 donation, up to a $5,000 total!
