Oneonta Rotary's "Operation Warm" Ensures Elementary School Students Stay Cozy This Winter

For many years, the Oneonta Rotary has participated in a heartwarming initiative to combat the New York winter chill. "Operation Warm" is a community-driven project aimed at providing coats for elementary school students in the local area. This commendable effort ensures that every child can stay warm and comfortable during the colder months.

The Oneonta Rotary, known for its commitment to community service, collaborated with the Oneonta City School District elementary schools to identify students in need. The initiative emphasizes the importance of warmth during the winter season while also fostering a sense of togetherness within the community.

The Rotary's dedicated team worked tirelessly to collect donations and secure quality winter coats for elementary school students. Their efforts culminated in a distribution event at Greater Plains, Riverside, and Valleyview Elementary, where excited children received brand-new coats to shield them from the winter weather.

The impact of Operation Warm extends beyond the immediate provision of coats. By addressing a fundamental need, the initiative contributes to the overall well-being of the students, allowing them to focus on their education without the distraction of the biting cold.

As winter settles in, the brightly colored coats provided by Operation Warm not only shield the children from the cold but also symbolize the warmth generated by a community that cares.
