EDMONTON -- Operation Warmth, a youth charity organization, donated 150 bags of clothing on Tuesday to homeless Edmontonians at the Bissell Centre and the Edmonton Convention Centre. “A lot of us were expecting a bit less due to COVID, we weren’t expecting so many people to donate,” said Avishek Airi, co-founder of Operation Warmth. The group was founded four years ago by high school friends. They support larger organizations like the Bissell Centre, the Edmonton Food Bank and WIN House. “We wanted to give back to the community that raised us to be how we were and we decided to do a clothing drive,” said Airi.
