"Now that I've been in Minnesota for a while, I realize how cold it can get, and I'm fortunate to be in a position to help those in need stay warm this winter," Love said. "The Salvation Army has already donated more than 5,000 coats to families this winter, but this fantastic organization needs our help to continue reaching out to all those in need. Also, thanks to the generous support of Comcast, Wolves fans and I have a great opportunity to make a difference this holiday season."
