Excited children in Green Bay chose free winter jackets Friday at the Coats for Kids drive, where more than 5,000 coats were available as cold weather set in. For kids, finding one that fit and looked good felt like a shopping spree; for parents, it meant warmth without another expense. Pulaski parent Justin Leveillee welcomed the help amid high costs, while Green Bay parent Stacey Calvin praised the snow pants provided for children who walk to school. WBAY partners with the campaign, and the Salvation Army is still accepting coat donations to help keep it going year after year. |
