Warmth 4 Winter: Helping fellow Oklahomans keep warm over winter
MUSTANG, Okla. (KFOR) — With the start of winter just a week away, the Mustang Lions Club clicked off its Brad Edward's Warmth 4 Winter coat drive Saturday morning.
The Lions Club took its big trailer to the streets and parked on the corner of Mustang Road and SH 152, so Oklahomans could easily drive or walk up to make their donations.
"For our third year, we've joined Channel 4's Warmth 4 Winter and Salvation Army to gather coats because we know there are a lot of Oklahomans in need and this is one way we can bless a lot of people," said Rob Estes, president of the Mustang Lions Club.
The mission of Warmth 4 Winter was born when the late Brad Edwards noticed children walking outside in the cold without coats on his way to work. He thought Oklahomans could make a difference.
As the temperatures begin to dip down into the colder temperatures, any coats that you may not use anymore could go a long way for another Oklahoman.
