- Distributes winter coats to children in Head Start programs
- Assists children from low-income households
According to data compiled by Kids Count, nearly 30 percent of Wayne County children live below the poverty line. In order to meet kids' most basic needs, such as food and clothing, many of their families must forgo purchasing warm coats for them. Operation Warm manufactures and distributes new winter coats for children from low-income families to prevent suffering in cold climates.
Since its inception in 1998, Operation Warm has provided winter coats for 775,000 children. The group aims to reach its millionth child by the end of its current distribution season. Partnering with Six Downriver Detroit Metro Rotary Clubs, Operation Warm plans to distribute coats to 4,000 children from low-income families at local schools and Head Start programs. It costs $20 to provide a coat to one child, and the organization requires additional funding in order to meet its 4,000-coat goal.
Join G-Team and donate $10 to help provide winter coats for children from low-income families. If G-Team members raise $400, then Operation Warm can distribute winter coats to 40 Detroit-area children. Donations up to $7,000 will be matched by six Downriver Detroit Metro Rotary Clubs from Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Taylor, Trenton, Woodhaven/Brownstown Township, and Wyandotte. Each additional $10 donation, in combination with the donation match, will purchase a coat for another child.
Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100 percent off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.

About Operation Warm
Founded in 1998, Operation Warm distributes winter coats to children across America, protecting their health and safety as well as buoying their spirits. "Our motto is 'more than a coat,' and I like to say we bring happiness and warmth to children through a new winter coat," executive director Rich Lalley says. "When they get a brand-new winter coat all their own ... they feel better about themselves, and when they feel better about themselves, children perform better in school."
Operation Warm distributes hundreds of thousands of new coats around the country each year. The organization's coats are brightly colored and have extra-deep pockets and detachable hoods, and they come in sizes 3T to adult large.
