The project
Winter coats through a firefighter-led community effort.
KARE 11 documented Twin Cities Firefighters Operation Warm distributing children's winter coats at Richfield STEM Elementary School in Richfield, Minnesota. Minneapolis Fire Captain Adam Graves described the need and the firefighters' work with Operation Warm.
Josh Liljenquist participated in and amplified the project. During the recorded visit, he made a $500 contribution. Graves said on air that the contribution could provide approximately 600 coats through the program's discounted supplier relationships. The coat estimate is attributed to Graves; it is not presented as an independently audited purchasing calculation.

Date precision
Coverage date is not the image date.

Evidence boundary
Participation is not a sponsorship or permanent role.
The record supports a dated community-support project and Josh's participation, contribution, and amplification. It does not establish that Josh organized or led Operation Warm, held an ambassador role, entered a sponsorship or paid partnership, or maintained an ongoing formal relationship. No child identities, recipient count, or private school details are published here.
