Encinitas Local Starts 'Anything Warm Drive' After Homeless Uncle Dies in Carlsbad [Video]

Devin Brown started the clothing and blanket drive Jan. 7 after learning her Uncle "Chooch" passed away at Holiday Park in Carlsbad.

Encinitas resident Devin Brown, 22, sprung into action after her family learned her homeless uncle died during an especially cold week in January.

Her uncle had been homeless by choice for more than six years and was last seen at Holiday Park in Carlsbad. Devin described him as a very happy and generous man who was always smiling.

Devin's "Anything Warm" drive is continuing through Feb. 12. Feel free to donation beanies, gloves, jackets, sleeping bags, socks, blankets or anything else warm to any of these drop off locations in North County:
