For the last several weeks, we’ve been collecting donations of coats with Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz.
Metro Atlanta and north Georgia came through, donating more than 14,000 coats to Brad’s Coat Drive.
On Tuesday, Nitz and some volunteers delivered 1,000 of those coats to the Midtown Assistance Center.
“The need is great. Our supply of coats has dwindled since November, so these are coming at the perfect time because it’s so cold and our goal is to sort them and get them distributed to people this week,” Jenny Jobson with the Midtown Assistance Center said.
