KMOX Cares

Carol Daniel has teamed up with the 10th Annual Warners’ Warm-Up Coat Drive, a community-wide collection drive in partnership with Operation Food Search to benefit those in need of proper winter outwear.  This year’s drive kicked off at the Rams-Panthers game on Sunday, October 31st.  Fans joined Carol Daniel and Kurt’s wife Brenda Warner at the Edward Jones Dome to drop off their coats.

You can donate new or gently-used coats at drop off locations throughout the greater St. Louis area (southern Illinois too). Operation Food Search distributes the coats to those who need them most thru their network of social service agencies.  To find a drop-off location visit kurtwarner.org.

Charlie Brennan is raising money for St. Louis Arc’s Capable Kids and Families, which provides children (ages 0-6) and families with developmentally appropriate toys and therapeutic equipment free-of-charge.  Some of this equipment can be quite cost-prohibitive.  Capable Kids and Families allows parents to check out items free of charge and keep them as long as they are needed.

Charlie will conduct a live auction during his show with a new item every day for ten days.  The auction starts Monday, November 1st and all proceeds will benefit St. Louis Arc’s Capable Kids and Families program.check out the auction items
