Operation Warm and partners to provide winter wear for children

BRISTOL — For the third consecutive year Bristol Community Services, Bristol Fire Department and the Tapply-Thompson Community Center will be providing brand new coats through our partnership with Operation Warm and also snow pants and boots for youth Elementary age and below.

Last year Operation Warm distributed winter wear to over 100 youth. This year they will be unable to have families come in to try on items due to the current health restrictions. There are order forms available at Bristol Community Services, the TTCC and through the School Nurses in the Newfound District.

Orders need to be placed by Oct. 28 for Oct. 30 pick up or by Nov. 3 for Nov. 6 pick up. and can be emailed to bccfun@metrocast.net or dropped off at BCS or the TTCC.

There will be two distribution dates where items can be picked up at the TTCC. The dates are Saturday, Oct. 30 from 8 a.m. – noon or Saturday, Nov. 6 from 8 a.m. – noon. Pick up times need to be scheduled by contacting the TTCC at 744-2713 or by email.

There will be no returns/exchanges this year. There is a  sizing chart available on the TTCC website at www.ttccrec.org. The inventory is limited, so items will be given out until supplies run out. Szes for toddlers or babies not available.
