NORTH KANSAS CITY, MO. - Planet Aid collected more than 1 million pounds of clothes and shoes from within the Kansas City, Mo,. city limits; clothes that might have ended up in area landfills. Throughout the year, coats and blankets are separated and are stored at the North Kansas City facility until winter comes. Planet Aid gave these coats and blankets to organizations that help those in need within the areas around us. In 2012, Planet Aid donated more than 20,000 pounds of coats and blankets back to the communities.
