New nonprofit organization celebrating the season of giving with free coats to those in need

The New Black Collective is a community organization that's dedicated to the improvement and advancement of the community.

WACO, Texas — It is the season of giving and a new nonprofit organization is trying to do just that this weekend by giving out free coats to those in need.

The New Black Collective is a community organization that's dedicated to the improvement and advancement of the community.

"We know what it is to be without certain types of necessities,” Jasmine Bledsoe, member of The New Black Collective said. “We didn’t have any performing arts schools or any stem schools or nothing like that."

The organization will give back to the community by giving away free winter wear and coats to those in need on Saturday.

"There will be vendor tables and stuff like that. There will be free hot chocolate and cookies and of course they will get a coat," Bledsoe said.

This is the organizations second event. In August they had a back to school drive where they serviced over 150 kids. They are hoping to do the same on Saturday.

"We have sizes from infant to adult so, it’s really a community event for everybody," Bledsoe said.

The coat drive is Saturday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Indian Spring Middle School.
