Mountain America Credit Union partners with Operation Warm to donate shoes to local children
More than 350 pairs of shoes were donated to children from the local Head Start program with Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership
OGDEN, UTAH (March 20, 2024) — Mountain America Credit Union partnered with Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership, Inc. (OWCAP) and Operation Warm for a unique charitable event on March 19, 2024— just in time for spring over 350 children from low-income households were provided with brand-new shoes, perfectly timed for the arrival of spring.
The shoes were distributed to children by representatives of OWCAP, Mountain America, and Operation Warm. Operation Warm is a national nonprofit dedicated to providing warmth, confidence, and hope for children in need—through the gift of coats and shoes.
