WINTER WARM WEAR PROGRAM
Thanks to ResourceWest’s Winter Warm Wear Program, children and youth across the West Metro head into the cold Minnesota months with warmth, confidence, and comfort. We provide new winter coats, hats, gloves, and other essentials for children from infancy through high school.
This vital program eases the financial strain on families and ensures every child can stay warm, active, and fully engaged in school and daily life throughout the winter season. In 2025 alone, more than 1,100 youth received Winter Warm Wear essentials, helping them feel secure, supported, and ready to thrive.
