WKYC To Help Fight Hunger in Northeast Ohio & Collect Holiday Toys, Coats

Friends and neighbors need our help. With the extended unemployment benefits ending in November and our economy still facing many challenges, this winter could be very difficult for many families.

That's why the Cleveland and Akron food banks, the Salvation Army of Greater Cleveland, Coats for Kids, WTAM, and WKYC have come together for a huge food, coats and toy drive at four area Walmart stores.

Donations of new or gently worn winter coats, non-perishable food items, new unwrapped toys and cash will be accepted. Volunteer representatives from those organizations, local schools and businesses, along with WKYC TV3 personalities, local celebrities, high school marching bands, cheerleaders and more will be on hand in the parking lots of these Walmart locations from 9 am – 3 pm to accept donations:
