Teens will be warmer ---

We've had the amazing experience of working with Aeropostale, the teen retailer with over 900 stores, on the distribution of 100,000 new teen coats.  Working with more than 150 agencies in all 50 states and 4 provinces, these coats will be distributed during the month of November.

Watch "The Tyra Banks Show" on November 12th for information on the drive and the distribution of the coats in Chicago, Grand Rapids and New York City.

One of our "partner" agencies wrote to tell us what these coats will mean in their community:

"I would like to thank your organization for the heart filled coat program you have put together.  In this part of the US a coat can mean the difference between life and death.  It is nothing for the temp to drop to 50 degrees below zero with a chill factor of 50 below.  I want you to imagine the air, coming out of your mouth.  Turning to ice crystals right before your eyes.  I have seen people so cold until their lips are blue and tears from their eyes are frozen rolling down their cheeks.  Our teens in this area will be grateful and appreciative and warm because of you and your staff, bless you all."
