A towing company near Winston-Salem, North Carolina is servicing a lot of people now that the cold weather is stranding motorists whose car batteries have died.

But one of the employees at All Over Towing, Daniel Sadler, started thinking about people who had no homes or vehicles and who would be outdoors in the freezing temperatures.

He took his tip money and headed to a local Dollar Store to buy cold weather items to hand out to the needy, reports WGHP-TV.

He hit the city streets and handed out free hats, gloves, scarves, blankets and socks. He was filled with such satisfaction that he decided to go out again later in the week.

"I felt great, you know," Sadler said. "These folks were crying."
