BERLIN — Over 700 children from Coos County will receive a brand-new coat this year courtesy of the Professional Firefighters of Berlin IAFF Local No. 1088. For the eleventh consecutive year, Local 1088 has partnered with Operation Warm, a national non-profit dedicated to providing warmth, confidence and hope for children in need. Founded in 1998, Operation Warm and its partners have served over 7 million children across North America with brand-new coats and shoes.
“A warm coat is an essential item for children all over Coos County,” said Shane Warren, president of the Professional Firefighters of Berlin. “We are proud to partner with Operation Warm on this initiative to make an impact on our community — especially this year, when more families than ever are in need.”
