WTAE-TV’s Project Bundle-Up Telethon

The mission of WTAE-TV’s project Bundle-Up is to raise funds to provide all new warm winter outerwear (coats, hats, gloves, and boots) for children and senior citizens from low income households throughout Western Pennsylvania. Through the program, children ages birth-18 are provided up to $75 for new outerwear items, while seniors aged 62 years and older typically receive $100 for the purchase of such apparel. Project Bundle-Up aids an individual once every two years in order to reach more people in need each season. Project Bundle-Up provides funding to nearly 5,000 individuals annually; however, many must be turned away and added to a waiting list until more funds become available.
