Since 1986, The Salvation Army and WTAE-TV’s project Bundle-Up has provided brand new, warm winter essentials to thousands of children and senior citizens in Western PA. Every dollar we raise goes back into our communities to purchase winter gear for our most vulnerable neighbors and continue our mission of spreading warmth and care. We thank you for your generosity and helping us keep our neighbors warm! Together, we can ensure no one faces the cold alone.
About project Bundle-Up
WTAE-TV’s project Bundle-Up was created in 1986 by the late former Vice-President and General Manager Fred Barber, the late Chief Meteorologist Joe DeNardo, and Salvation Army Lieutenant Colonel Robert A. Watson. The program is a joint venture of WTAE-TV and The Salvation Army of Western Pennsylvania.
WTAE-TV’s project Bundle-Up serves disadvantaged children ranging from infants to 18 years old and senior citizens 62+ years old. Eligibility is based on financial need. We go beyond meeting basic needs. Through shopping with an adult mentor who takes the time to listen, and having something besides a hand-me-down coat to wear to school, kids’ self-esteem grows by leaps and bounds, giving them the confidence to excel in the classroom.
