I agree. Also, I imagine homeless people aren't short of jackets - cheap clothes are very cheap these days, relatively speaking. (I don't know about the States, but in the UK a cheap jacket in a bargain shop might be <£10. (Then again America is a lot colder than the UK in parts)) And there's plenty of jumble sales, charity donations of old clothes, etc. This reminds me of that guy who did the (failed) million-tshirts-to-Africa project. Good intentions, bad idea.
