A warm coat is an essential item for all children.

“Seeing children walking to school or standing at the bus stop in the dead of winter wearing a thin jacket or sweater really impacts my heart,” says Richard Woodson, who is the Senior Pastor at Living Word.

“Instead of just looking we decided as a church that we needed to do something so we partnered with Operation Warm.” he adds.

A brand new winter coat provides more than just warmth; it helps empower a child to have greater self-confidence, encourages school attendance in the winter, and contributes to their overall wellness while waiting at the bus stop and during outdoor play.

Operation Warm is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing new winter coats to children living in need. Since 1998, Operation Warm has given new coats to millions of children across the country.

They are looking for the community to join with them in raising $10,000 to meet the need of youth within our city.

Please contact Gloria Morris at 931.645.9596 or stop by the church office.
