Thousands of Western Colorado residents are going to find themselves much more cozy this winter thanks to the generosity of KEKB listeners. The annual coat drive with the Salvation Army has wrapped up, and when it's all said and done, your donations really raised the bar!

According to the Salvation Army's Claudia Jackson, this year's total donations came in at 2,135 coats! Think about that for a minute. That's 2,135 people, many of them children, who will stay warm this winter thanks to your generosity.

Late last year, several area business volunteered to have donation barrels placed at their locations. Those wishing to donate could simply drop off a coat at the nearest convenient location.
