ABOUT PROJECT WARMTH:

The purpose of Project Warmth is to make winter months more bearable for thousands of Kansas City area residents in need. Since Project Warmth was started by The Kansas City Star in 1982 and then partnered with KCTV5 Heat for Life in 1983, Project Warmth has collected more than 2,200 tons of coats and blankets and more than $7.25 million for area children, families and the elderly.

All items collected are sorted and distributed FREE by the Salvation Army, and given to approximately 100 agencies and shelters in the 8-county Metropolitan area for needy in their respective areas.

Project Warmth goes to those who need it most:

Project Warmth dollars go to help the working poor.
Project Warmth is transitional help only -- to get people back on their feet.
Project Warmth helps families with children and the elderly, who are especially at risk during winter months.
