WGHN-FM 92.1 and Plantenga’s Cleaners Collect Over 1,700 Coats in 2024 Coat Drive

Grand Haven, MI – December 6, 2024 – WGHN-FM 92.1 and Plantenga’s Cleaners are thrilled
to announce the conclusion of their 2024 Coat Drive, which has successfully collected and
cleaned over 1,700 coats for those in need in our community. Thanks to the incredible generosity
of local residents, the drive also gathered over 200 pairs of gloves, donated by the West
Michigan Lakeshore Association of Realtors, and more than 100 hats.

This annual initiative would not have been possible without the support of our key sponsor, Tri-Cities Credit Union, as well as the Kieft Agency in Spring Lake. We also extend our gratitude to the participating drop-off locations across the community that made it easy for residents to contribute to this vital cause.  All collected items will remain local, benefiting individuals and families through Love in Action
and The Salvation Army. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of those
facing the challenges of Michigan’s winter season.

“We are deeply moved by the community’s support and commitment to helping our neighbors
stay warm this winter,” said Mike Toth, General Manager of WGHN-FM. “The success of this
coat drive is a testament to the generosity and compassion of West Michigan and in particular
Grand Haven, Spring Lake and our surrounding communities,” commented Al Plantenga.
