MADISON, Wis. — After collecting thousands of winter coats, the Community Action Coalition is now looking to give them to those in need.
More than 4,000 winter coats were donated to area Klinke Cleaners locations as part of the annual Koats for Kids campaign. On Thursday, those in need of a coat and other winter wear visited the CAC’s warehouse at 1902 Wright Street in Madison to pick them out.
“We’re going to have probably two to three thousand people come through here to get coats,” Jeremy Otte, the CAC’s development director, said. “With inflation, with the economy being what it is, we definitely are seeing the need this year.”
