Patriots Teams With Detroit Nonprofit To Assist Homeless People (Video)

The Patriots are helping those in need throughout New England this winter.

The Kraft family and the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation have teamed up with The Empowerment Plan, a Detroit nonprofit organization, to provide homeless people with a coat that turns into a sleeping bag. The Kraft family is purchasing the coats and passing them out at shelters throughout the area.

“We heard about The Empowerment Plan … and we just loved the story about this young woman, who as a classroom project created a product that served a need, a real need in her community,” Robyn Glaser, vice president of The Kraft Group, told Guerin Austin in a segment that aired Tuesday on “NESN Sports Today.”
