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.
