You did it! We have a warehouse filled with the gently-loved rain and winter coats WSB-TV Channel 2 viewers donated to our Brad Nitz Coat Drive. With your generosity, we’ve collected more than 7,000 coats for Georgians in need. Our community wide effort began December 16, 2024, and ended January 10, 2025.
“It’s just incredible to watch our community come together to help Georgians stay warm this winter,” said WSB-TV Channel 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz. “I’m thrilled with the response because of all the people it will support during the coldest time of the year.”
Channel 2 partnered with One Warm Coat, a non-profit organization that provides free coats to children and adults. 100% of coats collected during Brad Nitz’s Coat Drive are going back into local neighborhoods. Our Family 2 Family partners joined in the effort expanding donation locations from one to 20.

“Together, as a community, we are positively impacting people in need across North Georgia,” said Marian Pittman, President of WSB-TV & CMG Content. “A big thank you to our Channel 2 viewers, our Family 2 Family partners, and Atlanta Peach Movers for helping to collect quickly and distribute thousands of coats this winter.”
“We delivered nearly 2000 coats to people in shelters before last week’s winter storm and we are working quickly with One Warm Coat and other local non-profit organizations to get boxes and boxes of free coats distributed as soon as possible,” said Condace Pressley, Director of Community Affairs at WSB-TV. “For the second year in a row Brad’s Coat Drive has been a success and we are looking forward to making it even bigger in the years to come.”
