Ohio governor’s office partnering with ‘Operation Warm’ to provide coats, shoes to children in need

Governor DeWine announced this week that the Ohio Governor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives is partnering with Operation Warm and other community organizations to distribute shoes and coats to underserved children.

In 2020, Operation Warm and OFBCI provided 7,158 coats and 5,004 pairs of shoes to children through 66 organizations located in 38 different counties located throughout Ohio, according to a release.

“Working together, this wonderful partnership helps Ohioans take care of Ohioans in their communities,” said Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine.

Organizations wishing to receive coats or shoes to support Ohio children in need this winter can submit an application by November 1 through the Operation Warm website.
