69 WFMZ-TV is partnering with the Reading Royals to collect new and gently used coats for the Reading School District's Knight's Closet, which was founded to help students in need, particularly those who are experiencing homelessness or at risk.
"We are incredibly grateful to the Reading Royals, 69 WFMZ-TV, and our generous community for their overwhelming support in donating coats to The Knights Closet," said Emily Snisky, Families in Transition social worker. "Your kindness ensures that our students have the warmth and comfort they need as the cold months approach. This collaboration is a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we come together to care for one another. Thank you for helping us keep our Reading students warm and supported this winter season."
To donate, go to to the Santander Arena on Penn Street in downtown Reading next Saturday Dec. 14 from 5 to 7 p.m. Donation bins will be set up outside the arena's front entrance. 69 WFMZ-TV staff members will be available to assist donors with their donations.
Donations will be accepted right up until the start of the Royals' game against the Wheeling Nailers at 7 p.m.
The Royals will provide a ticket voucher to individuals who donate a coat. That voucher can then be redeemed at the arena box office for a $5 ticket to the Dec. 14 game.
