Tasha Layton is "in the house," talking about her new song, "Never," and how it's a reminder that she is never forsaken, and always safe in God's hands. Do you need that reminder today?

It was like a four-hour group hug for our heroes this Saturday! A winter clothing and food drive on behalf of veterans in need happened at the American Legion at 117 6th Ave. S. in Edmonds. YOU showed up with bags and boxes filled with love in the form of warm coats, blankets, groceries, and MORE. All the donations will bless the Hero's Cafe in Lynnwood. Erica popped by and got to meet so many amazing veterans, including Mark Bjorndal, who was on the morning show today. Hear from Mark now and Jessica with Project Serve too, who was there serving up delicious cocoas and coffees - made with freshly ground beans of course!

Get ready to stick your eyes on a masterpiece! Rudy Willingham whipped up a portrait of retired Coach Pete Carroll using $100 worth of chewing gum. Why gum? Because Coach Carroll had a habit of chomping gum during games, of course! This sweet masterpiece now resides on Seattle's famous gum wall, residing as an epic piece of gumtastic art. Stop by and check it out!

Our heroes were on the move last weekend when it was freezing cold in Seattle! The Big Red Bus, otherwise known as a Medical Ambulance Bus (MAB), is run by volunteers from the Seattle Fire Department and Health One. Their goal is to take care of the people and they do it by offering hot calories, like cups of soup, a kind word, and a ride to the shelter or the hospital. Lieutenant Roger Webber and Public Information Officer David Cuerpo from the Seattle Fire Department are our very special guests today.

Join Erica and two of our heroes for a conversation that will warm up your heart and make you want to hug a hero.

Erica chatted this morning with Kellie Lewis, a superwoman from the Edmonds Food Bank. With the recent icy temps, the need for food assistance has skyrocketed. But, wait for it, Kellie shares a feel-good tale of a family that went above and beyond by gathering over 500 paper bags for the food bank to use! When serving 1000 families in one week, you go through bags fast, so this was a huge gift of time from Stephanie Westling, her kids Olivia and Winter, AND the community who donated the bags.

Erica sat down with Ben Malcolmson, who worked with Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll for 14 years. The words Ben uses to describe Pete come as no surprise: consistency, clarity of identity, positive influence, fun-loving nature, and competitive spirit. We love getting this window of insight into the man we have loved as our head coach all these years. We're going to miss him.
