He said he will be back out through the end of the week with a list of more than 100 places asking for help. Koltz is doing everything free of charge. He wants this to inspire others to do the same.

What they're saying:

"You need to get out and do something. I feel like a lot of people don’t do that anymore. There’s not the drive to do that anymore. I’m glad to be the example that I want to see. If you want to have change, be the change that you want to see. That’s what we’re trying to do," said Koltz.
