Operation Warm provides new winter coats to children in need through strategic partnerships with donors and community organizations. Our vision is that every child wearing a new winter coat is healthy, is able to attend school regularly, and has strong self-esteem. We hope that each child we reach believes, I am of value.

Operation Warm began when philanthropist Richard Sanford read a story in a local newspaper about children standing at the bus stop without a winter coat. It was December 1998 and 20°F outside. Appalled, Mr. Sanford went to a local department store, purchased the entire childrens outerwear inventory fifty eight winter coats and distributed them through a local social service agency with the assistance of his Rotary Club. By the end of our first decade, Operation Warm distributed in excess of 500,000 new winter coats.
