WSB-TV Channel 2, announces the return of Brad’s Coat Drive, a community-wide effort to collect gently used rain and winter coats for north Georgians in need from December 16, 2024, to January 3, 2025.
“Winter weather in North Georgia can be tough,” said Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz. “That is why this year’s coat drive is more important than ever. Together we can make sure Georgians have the winter coat they need to stay warm during the coldest time of year.

This year’s collection effort benefits One Warm Coat, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free coats to children and adults. 100% of coats collected during Brad’s Coast Drive will go to Georgians in local communities and neighborhoods.
“Channel 2, One Warm Coat and our Family 2 Family partners have made it easy to help with 20 donations sites across metro Atlanta,” said Condace Pressley, Director of Community Affairs at WSB-TV. “We are also grateful for our long-standing partnership with Atlanta Peach Movers who will manage weekly pickup and storage of donations until all coats are distributed to the community in January.”
