CHARLOTTE — Viewers are invited to our WSOC-TV studios on Wednesday, December 11th, 2024, for a special drop-off event where they can bring their coats and meet John Ahrens along with other on-air personalities. Channel 9 will have live coverage of the collection throughout the day at the Walmart Supercenter at 3209 Pineville Matthews Road, Charlotte, 28226, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Channel 9′s Chief Meteorologist John Ahrens is asking viewers to donate new or gently used children’s coats of all sizes for needy kids in the Charlotte area. The first 50 visitors to donate will receive a family four-pack of Cirque Du Soleil TWAS tickets.
All donations are distributed through the Crisis Assistance Ministry, an independent nonprofit agency focused on preventing homelessness and preserving dignity for Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s working poor.
WSOC-TV’s 9 Coats for Kids campaign is a part of the Channel 9 Family Focus brand and was introduced in 2005. The campaign for 2024 runs from November 1st through December 31st.
