In 2024, Vivienne, then 7 years old, became aware of a need in her classroom when the weather began to chill and a dear friend did not have a warm jacket. Thus, the “Warm Hearts Project” was born.

Last year, Vivienne raised and distributed roughly $4,000 worth of jackets to 145 of her friends in need, hoping to warm their bodies and in turn their hearts too. In doing so, we learned that it also warmed our hearts. Vivienne immediately expressed her desire to do it again the following year, which brings us to the present.

A new, thick, warm jacket costs roughly $30-40, depending on the size. We would certainly appreciate your donations and support. We hope this project will continue to warm your hearts as much as it has ours.
