WFMZ, Lehigh Valley Phantoms to host coat drive for Salvation Army

Mark your calendar for the 12th annual WFMZ and Lehigh Valley Phantoms Coat Drive. Donate new or gently used coats to the PPL Center on Friday, Nov. 13th.
We'll be collecting jackets outside the arena on the corner of 7th and Hamilton Streets in Allentown from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Come say hi to some of the 69 News team, have a chance to meet the Phantom's mascot meLVin, and stay for the game. Click here to purchase tickets to see the Phantoms take on the Hamilton Hammers.
If you're short on time that night, there will be a drive-thru drop off lane on Hamilton Street. We'll have volunteers helping unload cars from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. If the evening doesn't work, there will be drop boxes inside the main entrance to the PPL Center during the day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The coats will be donated to local Salvation Army programs, including Salvation Army Foster Care and Adoption Services.
A winter coat is a given for many people, but not for everyone. That's why we team up with other community leaders to help make sure all of our neighbors can stay warm this winter.
