St. Louis, MO -
Brenda Warner will be cheering for the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, but she and her quarterback husband won't be turning a cold shoulder to St. Louis. The two are organizing their ninth warm coat drive to benefit the bi-state region.
This warm sunny weather can be deceptive. Soon a trip to the playground will demand a warm coat. Not every child owns a heavy jacket. Filling that need became a mission nine years ago for NFL quarterback Kurt Warner and his wife Brenda. His departure from the St. Louis Rams did not change their commitment.
"We've heard the need is still here. Every single year all the coats have been given away so until there is a stockpile of extra coats we're gonna keep doing it." said Brenda Warner
The Warner's foundation with help from FOX 2 and News 11 is collecting new and slightly worn coats to help kids and grownups stay warm this winter.
Operation Food Search identifies those who need a warm coat. Brenda Warner delivered some at the St. Louis Foreign Language Immersion School. In turn the kids serenaded her.
"The St. Louis community has been so generous in the past I'm confident maybe we can break last year's record and bring more than ten thousand coats in. They are so important." Sunny Schaefer - Operation Food Search
It's enough to send a kindergartner hopping back to class. You can drop coats at Fed-Ex offices, Walgreens, Custom Cuts or any participating credit union or police station until November 29th.
