This week on Jersey Magazine, Jim Monaghan is joined by Grace Sica, the Executive Director of Operation Warm.
Families in poverty spend the majority of their income on food, housing, childcare, and healthcare, leaving little room for essentials like winter clothing. The average cost of a warm coat ($60) or shoes & socks ($48) is unattainable for many low-income families, especially those with multiple children.
Operation Warm, a national nonprofit dedicated to providing brand-new, coats and shoes to children in need, is teaming up with Subaru to collect coats and shoes to deliver essential winter clothing to underserved communities across the country to ensure children have the warmth and confidence they need to thrive at school and in their communities.
