The money raised will help buy coats, gloves, warm clothing and shoes for Triangle children in need. Since 1989, WRAL has collected over 73,000 coats and $643,000 to provide winter clothing for Salvation Army families.
WRAL-TV’s “Coats for the Children” campaign runs from Nov. 22 through Dec. 31. Gently used or new winter coats are being accepting at the WRAL-TV studios as well as Jiffy Lube and Chick-fil-A locations in the viewing area.
