Over the last 20 years, Operation Warm and our partners have used the coat as a bridge for families in need to access everything from flu shots to new books.

- Our mission is to reduce poverty by using technology to educate people in poverty. Too often, we fly thousands of miles away to help poor people in other countries.

We believe it is our responsibility to help people abroad, but it is also our responsibility to help underprivileged people “Right Here At Home”. By providing practical financial education and technology training, we believe we can help people rise above poverty.
