Volunteers (l-r) Mike Couvillion, Patty Vizzini and Danny Spencer on Monday helped load coats and outerwear that will be delivered to Gulf Coast schools this week. More than 5,500 coats for kids have been collected through the "MSU Warms the Coast" initiative. The effort was chaired by MSU head football coach Sylvester Croom and athletic director Larry Templeton. In addition to individual donations, Rotary International and the state 4-H program provided additional support.
