Help Us Warm the Hearts of Children
Posted by Richard (Rich) Lalley on Sep 07, 2016
Please help us reach our goal of providing brand new Operation Warm winter coats to 1,000 children living in need in the Chicago area. We believe a new coat is more than a coat and can tell a child "You're worth it." We believe it can inspire happiness and warmth in a child, while also increasing self-confidence, peer acceptance, school attendance, and outdoor play.
Over the past seven years, the Rotary Club of Winnetka-Northfield has provided a gift of warmth to nearly 4,000 area children. For these children and their families, your gift of a new coat will be a true blessing.
We partner with several area non-profit organizations identified by our club members, including:
Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook
Holy Family Ministries in North Lawndale
Inner City Impact in Cicero | JCYS in Highwood
Open Arms Mission in Antioch | Maryville Crisis Nursery in Oak Park
Hope Community Church in Chicago's Austin Neighborhood
Asian Youth Services

How many children will you keep warm next winter?
