Allentown, Pa. – Join Us for the 11th Annual WFMZ-TV & Lehigh Valley Phantoms<\/a> Coat Drive!<\/p>\n

Help keep our community warm this winter by donating new or gently used coats during the 11th Annual WFMZ-TV and Lehigh Valley Phantoms Coat Drive on Friday, November 14, 2025, at the PPL Center<\/a> in Allentown.<\/p>\n

All donated coats will benefit local Salvation Army<\/a> programs, including the Foster Care and Adoption Program<\/a>. Organizers say the need is especially great this year\u2014children\u2019s coats are in high demand.<\/p>\n

Last year, we collected more than 1,000 coats, and with your help, we\u2019re aiming to beat that number in 2025!<\/p>\n

How to Donate:<\/p>\n
