Operation Warm provides new winter coats to children in need through strategic and community partnership, with a wide variety of donors and community organizations around the country. Our vision is that every child wearing a new winter coat will be healthy, will be able to attend school regularly and will develop a strong self-esteem. This winter we are working to reach our one-millionth child, making us one of the largest donors of new coats in the country.
One Night Without Warmth Awareness Campaign
“One Night Without Warmth” (ONWW) is a national awareness event designed to support Operation Warm’s mission to provide new winter coats for children in need. The national awareness event’s theme is to draw attention to the large numbers of children living in poverty in the United States and share in Operation Warm’s work to alleviate some effects of childhood poverty by providing new, winter coats to children in need.

Posted by Patrick Rosso January 23, 2012 for boston.com Now that Boston has experienced its first significant winter snowfall, a few thousand young people in the city will be better prepared for any upcoming storms, thanks to the free coats they received Saturday from the Boston Foundation and Operation Warm. At two sites throughout the city, Maverick Landing in East Boston and the Sportsmen’s Tennis & Enrichment Center in Dorchester, volunteers gathered to distribute more than 1,000 coats to students ages 3-12 who live in six Boston Housing Authority developments—Maverick Landing, Orient Heights, Franklin Field, Franklin Hills, Fairmount, and Gallivan.
