Coat racks outside local Shop Rite stores are part of a community project to keep Acadiana warm during the cold weather that's on the way. Shop Rite, Coca-Cola and Trinity Graphx have teamed up to collect coats for those in need. The project is called "Need a Coat – Take One, Have a Coat – Leave One." KATC meteorologist Eric Zernich has more on how you can give back.

Coat racks can be found at Shop Rite stores at the following locations.

1110 North University Ave.
