On a brilliant 80-degree February day, the Mavericks unloaded a record number of winter coats and jackets on Wednesday at the Austin Street Center for distribution to those who need help the most.
After all, this is Texas. If you don’t like the weather, wait a little while. It’ll change. And a whole lot of people will be better prepared for it when it does.
The Mavericks partnered with the center and Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers for this year’s Winter Warm-Up to collect and distribute more than 1,500 winter-wear items.
Mavericks’ legend Devin Harris helped give out the coats, then went to work with 7-year-old daughter Violet to serve up chicken and fixings to the Austin Street Center clients.
