About Steve Coats for Kids

WSOC-TV's Steve's Coats for Kids campaign is a part of the Channel 9 Family Focus brand and was introduced in 2005. Over the last 15 years, this campaign has been a labor of love brought together through various partnerships. All coat donations are distributed through Crisis Assistance Ministry serving the Charlotte area since 1975. An independent non-profit agency, Crisis Assistance Ministry focuses on preventing homelessness and preserving dignity for Charlotte-Mecklenburg's working poor -- providing assistance with rent, utilities, clothing and furniture.

Steve's Coats for Kids has collected over 200,000 coats in the last 15 years. Every coat donation spends less than 48 hours in the Crisis Assistance Ministry Free Store before benefiting someone in need.
