KNX Hero of the Week

It can get cold at night in Southern California, making it nearly unbearable for thousands of people who live without a permanent roof over their head. So, Peyton Hitzler is trying to help, one coat at a time! She started Coco's Coats five years ago, collecting warm clothing to give to those in need. She's already helped more than 500 people stay warm! Hear the Capistrano Valley High School senior chat with host Heather Jordan about her project, by clicking on the link!
