Operation Warm brings warmth, confidence, and hope to children in need through brand-new winter coats and shoes. 

$25 provides a new winter coat and $20 provides a pair of new sneakers to a child in need, fostering school attendance on cold winter days, socialization with their peers, and healthy outdoor play with pride. $600 gifts coats or shoes to an entire elementary school class. Our new coats and shoes warm the hearts of Delaware children living in need, boost their self-esteem, and allow them to feel the emotion associated with receiving a gift that was made just for them.

Over the past 24 years, Operation Warm has served over 5 million children across North America. In our communities, nearly one in five children live in need. For their families, paying for food, housing, heat and healthcare takes priority, meaning many children have to go without proper weather essentials needed to stay healthy and active.

Operation Warm's motto #MoreThanACoat means more than just physical warmth. When you donate to provide a brand-new coat or pair of shoes, it also means emotional warmth, the confidence to socialize and succeed, and hope of a brighter future.
