Drinking Water Depot Helping Impoverished Kids Keep Warm in Winter

Julie Chaves, of Drinking Water Depot, spearheads donation drive for Operation Warm to help supply new winter coats to children in need.

Julie Chaves, owner of Drinking Water Depot, is proud to announce she is hosting a donation drive for Operation Warm, whose mission is to provide brand new winter coats to children in need. “Giving a child in need a new winter coat helps improve their self-confidence, peer acceptance, school attendance and overall wellness, as the gift of a new coat empowers children by sparking confidence and self-pride,” said Chaves.

Operation Warm works year-round to create brand new, colorful winter coats made just for kids. Drinking Water Depot is collecting donations to directly benefit children in the greater Los Angeles area. “A donation of just $20 will provide a high-quality, brand new winter coat to a child who really needs it,” said Chaves.
Since 1998, Operation Warm has inspired hope by manufacturing and distributing high-quality, new winter coats to more than 2 million children in need throughout the U.S. By actually manufacturing the coats it distributes, Operation Warm is able to efficiently control logistics, costs and inventory.
