Blue Island firefighter John McClement's latest cause is helping the homeless men and women he sees everyday on his way to work.
"I live a block from here, so I see these people every day," McClement said. "I try to help when I can. I give them coffee, I give them sweatshirts, so this is a chance to do something bigger."
"It's like an extension of the firehouse," McClement said. "Instead of having 30 guys, we now have 40,000 in our Facebook firehouse." "When there is a tragedy, all of us throwing $5 or $10, we've been able to donate all over the country," McClement said.
