MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It may be hard to believe, but cold weather and winter really are right around the corner. When that temperature drops, you’ll reach for a jacket. Unfortunately, not everyone in the Mid-South can afford one. WREG’s Chief Meteorologist Tim Simpson needs your help filling our closet at our studio with 3,000 new or lightly used coats. Those coats will help a child in need stay warm this winter. This year’s big drive day will be November 12. That’s the day you can stop by 803 Channel 3 Drive, drop off some coats, and  meet Tim, Claudia and the whole News Channel 3 gang. The first 200 people to bring two coats or more will get a coupon for a free carwash. So be sure to stop by the WREG studios from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. next Thursday. You can also donate at several other locations around the Mid-South starting now!
  • Tim, Claudia and the entire News Channel 3 team will be happy to greet you when you donate your coat!
  • The Coats are here! WREG was overwhelmed by the number of coats we received last year. This is just one trip to the truck.
  • The coats you donate always find a good home!
