Sharon Stone helps clothe the poor

Sharon Stone is helping to clothe America's homeless this winter after urging bosses at the Burlington Coat Factory to hand over their wares to charity. The actress was horrified when she heard hundreds of children were forced to drop out of schools during the winter because their families couldn't afford to clothe them.
And she used her charms (nudge nudge wink wink) to convince Burlington bosses to hand out winter wardrobes to the worst-affected families.
She says, "There are kids who are not going back to finish their senior year... because they do not have a coat to go to school in. I've been working with a man at the Burlington Coat factory and we've been doing these projects all over the Atlantic northeast because there is so much of this situation. When I found this out... it broke my heart and I called the man who is the CEO of Burlington Coat Factory, and he was so moved by this concept that he started the project with me."
Stone is also working with footwear company Stride Rite to provide the same families with winter shoes. She adds, "These kids don't have shoes to go to school, so the kids in families are taking turns going to school because they only have a pair of shoes - each kid gives a pair of shoes to their brother and sister so they can go to school for one day. This is the real truth of what's happening in our country."
