Who We Are
Our Mission
We provide the gift of warmth, confidence, and hope through donations of clothing to children living in great need. These humanitarian donations relieve human suffering by providing basic need clothing essentials— principally winter coats, athletic shoes, and sports bras — to children in need across the United States.
Our Guiding Principles
Warmth
Operation Warm creates brand-new, high-quality coats and athletic-style shoes for children in need, offering both physical and emotional warmth.
Confidence
The gift of a brand-new coat or pair of shoes empowers children by sparking self-confidence in a way that second-hand clothing cannot. This gift can help students attend school, socialize with their peers and play outside with pride.
Hope
Many families living in poverty struggle to afford necessities like food, housing, clothing and child care. The gift of a brand-new coat or pair of shoes offers hope to both children and their parents, reminding them their community cares about their well-being and future.
Who We Serve
Operation Warm provides brand-new coats and shoes to the children who need them most. We serve Title 1 schools and school districts, Head Start programs, homeless shelters, and other beneficiary organizations with urgent need.
