Help a north Georgia neighbor in need during “Brad’s Coat Drive”

ATLANTA — WSB-TV, Channel 2 and Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz are launching “Brad’s Coat Drive” now through January 28, 2024. Brad invites you to help your neighbor in need by donating a new or your gently used rain or winter coat.

The poverty rate in the United States was 11.5 percent according to the Census Bureau while Georgia’s poverty rate was 13 percent. Poverty rates make the need for the basics, food, water, and a warm, dry coat even greater.

It’s our effort to make sure everyone who needs a coat has one. Your donation of a new or gently loved rain or winter coat will go to someone in Atlanta or North Georgia. Organizations which will benefit from “Brad’s Coat Drive” are: Chris180, Midtown Assistance Center, Positive Transitions Services, and Lift Up Atlanta.

There are three ways you can make a difference in our community:

1. Donate new or gently used rain or winter coats for children or adults at WSB-TV:

1601 West Peachtree Street NE

Atlanta, GA 30309

Hours: 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

2. Hold your own coat drive. Register here to be part of the WSB-TV “Brad’s Coat Drive” team!

3. Donate. Every $1 donated to the One Warm Coat organization warms one person.
