The Impact of WTOK's Coats for Kids Campaign

Nov 20, 2024 at 6:23 PM

For nearly four decades, WTOK-TV in Meridian has been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those in need. With a focus on children, the station has been committed to providing coats through the Wesley House. This year, the annual Coats for Kids campaign is underway once again, and they are calling on the community for support.

Partnership with Meridian Mutual Federal Credit Union

As Jacque Harms, General Manager of WTOK-TV, mentioned, this project has a long history. Meridian Mutual Federal Credit Union has been a partner from the very beginning. It all started with noticing a need at the Wesley House, and since then, coats of all kinds have been distributed there. Thick coats, sweatshirts – anything in good condition and clean that people are willing to share. The credit union's support has been crucial in ensuring the success of this campaign.

Many families in the area are grateful for this initiative. It helps them keep their children warm during the cold winter months. The donated coats make a real impact on the lives of these kids.

Throughout the winter, you can easily contribute by dropping off new or gently worn coats at WTOK studios or at Meridian Mutual Federal Credit Union during regular business hours. Your small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life.

The Importance of Coats for Kids

During the winter, keeping warm is essential, especially for children. Without proper coats, they are at risk of getting sick and facing various hardships. The Coats for Kids campaign addresses this need by providing a source of warmth for these vulnerable children.

It's not just about providing a coat; it's about showing love and care for the community. By donating a coat, you are helping to build a stronger and more caring community.

WTOK-TV's commitment to this cause is inspiring. Their efforts over the years have made a significant impact on the lives of many children. With the continued support of the community, they can continue to make a difference.

How You Can Help

Dropping off coats is a simple way to get involved. You can make a donation at WTOK studios or at Meridian Mutual Federal Credit Union. Your contribution will go directly to helping area kids stay warm.

Every coat counts. Whether it's a thick winter coat or a cozy sweatshirt, every item makes a difference. Join us in this important mission and help those in need.

By supporting the Coats for Kids campaign, you are not only helping children but also showing that we are a community that cares. Let's come together and make a positive impact on the lives of our neighbors.
