Give where the need is the greatest
Warm the Children is a collaborative charity effort among The Post-Star, the Glens Falls Rotary Club, Salvation Army, Southern Adirondack Independent Living (SAIL) and JC Penney to provide new clothing for the children of less fortunate families. Warm the Children is our Club's largest, longest running charitable
program in GF Rotary history which we have been operating for 32 consecutive years. We serve families and children in three counties, (Warren, Washington, Saratoga), 21 Zip Codes, and the footprint is expanding!

Volunteer shoppers assist each family in buying winter clothing at JC Penney for all of their children. Each eligible child gets $100-$175 dollars to spend, depending on age. We help families in Warren, Washington, and Saratoga counties!
We accept donations year round and 100% of ALL donations go towards buying clothing for the children. We operate on a completely volunteer basis!
Since the inception of the local Warm the Children in 1992 we have raised over $1.38 million and helped over 12,000 children (represents about 4,800 families). Each year the need grows along with the community support.
