Operation Warm: Newport – Delaware KIDS Fund Camping out for Coats Returns to Newport on 11/19

Oct 26, 2021

After learning about the high percentages of children living at or below the poverty line in our local elementary schools between Newport, Stanton and the Wilmington area, The Delaware KIDS Fund and Harvey, Hanna & Associates partnered with national non-profit coat manufacturer and distributor, Operation Warm. The mission is simple: provide EVERY child at EVERY school a brand new Operation Warm coat. A new coat for a child creates a sense of pride, offers physical and emotional warmth, boosts confidence and self-esteem, increases peer acceptance and improves daily attendance in school. It’s more than a coat. All together, this creates a stronger foundation for our community.

In 2017,  The Delaware KIDS Fund created a community-wide, challenge based fundraising platform. A team of brave volunteers decided to sleep outside for one night in the heart of Newport, Delaware. Camping out on a frigid night in November represents a commitment to warming up our children in need and to help accelerate monetary donations. Since our first camp in 2017, The Delaware KIDS has been able to raise enough money to purchase over 8,600 coats for 8,600 elementary students at 15 different schools.

We hope you will join us on this inspiring journey to help foster our next generation in need.

In 2021, the need has never been greater.

Please consider donating ($25 = 1 coat) and/or .. consider camping out for a coat on Friday, November 19th. Our traditional camp headquarters in downtown Newport will be OPEN again! However, we are also offering a socially distant option for those that would like like to campout at home during the same time. From Newport to backyards, front yards, local parks and beyond. We ask that you consider registering for camp (and/or donate) to help warm up another school (or two) this winter.

The Delaware KIDS Fund is a 501(c)3 organization established and founded in 2008 by Harvey, Hanna & Associates, Inc. and is dedicated to providing goods and services to children at risk and in distressed situations.DONATE NOW
