Giving Tuesday is more than a day on the calendar—it’s a global movement that reminds us of the power of generosity. At Operation Warm, we see firsthand how giving transforms lives, warms hearts, and strengthens communities. Here are eight reasons why giving feels so good—and why your support matters.
- It Creates Connection
Giving brings people together. Whether you’re donating, volunteering, or sharing a cause, you’re part of something bigger than yourself. When you give to support Operation Warm, you’re joining a community committed to helping children thrive.
- It Boosts Your Mood
Science shows that acts of generosity release feel-good chemicals like dopamine. Giving is a natural happiness booster!
- It Inspires Others
Your generous gesture can spark a ripple effect. Whether it’s one donation, a thoughtful act of kindness, or a single interaction—each action inspires others to get involved.
- It Strengthens Communities
Giving strengthens communities. At Operation Warm, we see this first-hand through our Wish List. Thousands of organizations representing millions of children are reaching out to share the needs of their community and ask for support. To serve an organization in your own community, explore our Community Partnerships program.
- It Gives You Purpose
Supporting a cause you believe in adds meaning to your day. It’s a reminder that your actions matter.
- It’s Contagious (In a Good Way!)
Generosity spreads. When people see others giving, they’re more likely to do the same—especially around Giving Tuesday. Share your Operation Warm story and watch kindness multiply as every donation gets matched by our very own generous Giving Tuesday partner, Nordstrom.
- It’s a Way to Say “Thank You”
Giving back is a powerful way to express gratitude for what you have and pay it forward.
- It Makes a Difference
Every act of giving—big or small—creates positive change. Your generosity matters and helps make the world a better place.
This Giving Tuesday, Make Your Gift Count
Join us in spreading warmth and joy. Every donation helps us provide brand-new coats and shoes to children who need them most. And through December 2, 2025, all donations will be doubled! Together, we can make this Giving Tuesday unforgettable.
