The objective of WGNO-TV’s Coats For Kids? We wanted to ensure thousands of New Orleans area kids stayed warm during the cold winter by providing them with coats they couldn’t afford! Community partners from schools to local businesses have been tremendous in making this campaign a success collecting, repairing, dry cleaning and delivering thousands of coats into the hands of children who need it most. A special thanks goes out to Blaze Courier, Young’s Dry Cleaning, American Solutions For Business, NOLA Box and Bridgehouse Gracehouse whose volunteered services has kept WGNO’s Coats for Kids strong for 16 years. Thank you and God Bless Louisiana.

Are there ANY drop off locations in Orleans Parish?

We've added several locations since the list was first published, Debbie. There are State Farm, Home Bank & Raising Canes locations in New Orleans.

If we do a “coats drive” at school, where should we bring them?
December 12, 2012 at 11:46 PM
You can bring them to any of the locations listed, or you can bring them directly to us at WGNO. Call us at (504) 525-3838 to make sure we're ready for you!
