A brand new coat tells a child, "you're worth it." For the child, a brand new winter coat can be more than a coat, it can change a child's life and empower them with greater self-confidence and increased school attendance. Operation Warm manufacturers and provides a thoughtfully designed collection of new winter coats to children in need, helping to improve self-confidence, peer acceptance, school attendance and overall wellness.
The Rotary Club of Chattanooga Hamilton Place orders the coats, then club members meet to sort and deliver the coats to the local elementary schools and see first hand many of the children's smiling faces as they receive their new coats.
The Rotary Club of Chattanooga Hamilton Place holds an annual fundraiser which funds community service projects including scholarships for non-traditional students to attend UTC and Chattanooga State. Two of the Rotary Club's scholarship winners, Ashley Earnshaw and Rachel Baker, were recognized in our club meeting and expressed sincere appreciation to the Rotary Club members for the opportunity to continue their education. One scholarship winner's next step is to attend medical school.
