Wish List

Operation Warm’s Wish List is where caring community organizations come to request a donation of the essential resources children need — and it’s the first place we look to identify and grant those wishes.

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.

Fulfill A Wish For A Child In Need

When you give to our Wish List, you help to fulfill childrens’ wishes for brand-new essential apparel.  Whether you choose to support one child or many, these are the kids who need your help the most – kids in homeless shelters, foster care agencies, and urgent-need situations.
