Vancouver firefighters represented by Local 452 of the International Association of Fire Fighters raised more than $6,000 this year to purchase 315 coats for students at four schools serving low-income neighborhoods.
Vancouver firefighter Kady Bieber has spearheaded the Operation Warm program in Vancouver for the past few years and says firefighters hope to expand their reach to more schools.
“Even though we did so well this year, there are still so many kids who need them (coats),” she said.
If you are interested in donating to this program, contact the Vancouver Fire Department at 360-487-7209.
