The Children We Serve
Ensuring our resources reach the children who need them most
“I serve homeless shelters and children whose parents are in addiction programs. [Previously I have been purchasing shoes with my own money. These children only have sandals. [Operation Warm shoes] would mean a great deal to the children I serve.” – Wish List Recipient
Homeless Shelters
“Many of our students’ families struggle to purchase food and clothing for their children. A significant percentage are in shelters or doubled up with family members. New coats mean daily warmth and security” – Wish List Recipient
Title 1 Schools
“We serve low income families who most often are single families struggling to bring income home. Most of our parents work two jobs and we serve a lot of homeless families. New shoes to our children would mean the world.” – Wish List Recipient
Head Start Programs
“Our court supervised visitation and safe exchange programs serve children whose parents are involved in the court system. For many of these children, a new coat means warmth, comfort, and safety. It makes sure they know that someone cares about them.” – Wish List Recipient
