Now more than ever, people in our community are counting on acts of kindness from their neighbors to make it through the holiday season.
Give the gift of warmth this year by donating to the NBC 5 and Telemundo Chicago Making A Difference Coat Drive.
This year you can go to Amazon and send a coat directly to Cradles to Crayons, an organization committed to providing local kids everyday essentials when they need it the most. You also can drop off a coat at any of our donation locations (list below).
Join us and let’s make a difference together!
