Chance the Rapper's "Warmest Winter" initiative has reached its goal of raising enough money to fund 1,000 EMPWR coats for the homeless community in Chicago. The campaign began in mid-December, and five days ahead of its deadline, it has already reached its fundraising target of $100,000.
As reported earlier -- upon raising $60,000 in 10 days -- the coats funded by "Warmest Winter" are self-heating and can be transformed into sleeping bags as well as duffle bags. Members of the homeless community are also hired to help manufacture the coats, so Chance's fundraiser is a job-creating initiative as well.
"Warmest Winter" is still accepting donations until January 13. Head here to donate to the noble cause.
