A Southern California faith group is handing out jackets that transform into sleeping bags to help hundreds of homeless people stay warm and dry as the region braces for a potentially stormy El Niño winter. Michael Aplikowsky, of Convicted 4 Christ Ministries, is distributing approximately 200 “empowerment coats” to homeless people in northern San Diego County, ABC 10 News reported. The specially designed jackets can be worn during the day before unfolding into sleeping bags at night, providing protection for people sleeping outdoors.
