Ben
Affleck Donates Coats on Live TV
12/7/07
Hollywood star Ben Affleck donated one of his second hand coats live on
U.S. TV, to a charity drive to keep less fortunate Americans warm this
Christmas.
Affleck appeared in New York's Times Square alongside Good Morning
America chat show host Diane Sawyer, clutching three coats belonging to
him and Violet, his two-year-old daughter with Jennifer
Garner.
After donating the items to the Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Drive, the
actor told Sawyer, "I did some work in Boston on food banks and
homeless shelters and I know how important it is to get a coat on your
back and kids can grow out of their clothes so quickly."
The Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Drive will last until 31 January 2008,
when they will be handed out to needy people.
