The report is a bit unclear, but what Oorah/Joy For Our Youth/Kars-4-Kids did (and still does to some extent) is portray their organizations – all controlled by the people who control Oorah – as helping all needy kids, when in reality almost all of the money goes to Oorah – a haredi missionary outreach organization whose aim is to put non-Orthodox Jewish kids in haredi yeshiva schools. Kars-4-Kids hides this from the public, uses deceptively designed commericals, and practices what many – including at least two state attorneys general – say is illegal bait-and-switch advertising practices to get donations.

After being sued by those AGs, the Oorah/Joy For Our Youth/Kars-4-Kids tirad began to do winter coat giveaways, staged outdoors in cold weather in poor neighborhoods of places like Newark after making sure a local politiican will be there and the press will be there, as well, to cover it.
The coats, I'm told, primarily came from an unrelated charity and Oorah, et al, didn't even have to pay for many of them. But even if they did pay, the number fo coats given away in this exploitative manner is exceedingly small compared to the money Kars-4-Kids raises every year. The vast bulk of that money goes to Oorah, often through Joy For Youth.
