GIVE A KID A COAT!
OUR GREEN INITIATIVESOur Coats
Our coats are a catalyst for education, outreach and positive social change. These efforts offer an exponential and lasting contribution to the familes we serve. Our coats are high quality, colorful and stylish. The gift of a new winter coat raises children’s self-esteem by giving them something NEW that is their own. Having something BRAND NEW is a rare treat for many children.
The coats, (as seen here) are designed for maximum warmth and durability, but also with details and styli
ng that are “kid friendly” (including deep pockets, detachable hoods and more), with new colors for these coats selected each season. All materials are inspected to ensure they meet Operation Warm’s standards and, most importantly, are sturdy and keep children warm.
Coats are pre-packaged in boxes of six, based upon the size and gender and are shipped as requested by the organizations we serve. The boxes also contain an assortment created so that children who attend the same distribution receive varied colors -- avoiding the appearance of uniforms. One of the coat’s most popular features is a permanent name tag where the child’s name is written, ensuring the child knows the coat is indeed “mine”, as well as helping in identification in school or during other activities.
"This brand new coat is all mine. No one has ever used it before" - Terrell, age 10
