Coats & Toys for Kids Day is the official start to the annual Coats for Kids Campaign.

Please bring a new or gently-used children's coat or a new, unwrapped toy to donate.  These coats help many families keep their children warm through the long Maine winter, and the toys will help make a happy Christmas for many children throughout the state.  This campaign is a success because of your tremendous generosity every year.  Our deepest thanks.

Looking to meet your favorite NEWS CENTER personality?  Here's where we'll be on December 3:

1) Sanford Hannaford: Pat Callaghan & Bruce Glasier

2) Augusta Hannaford (Cony Street): Bill Green & Kathleen Shannon
