There is a significant need for warm winter boots among children in Maine. Michael Klahr Jewish Family Services (MKJFS), in partnership with the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine (JCA), is proud to once again host the Joe Bornstein Winter Warmth Drive, providing vital support to children in our community.

We are calling on our community to participate by making a monetary donation, which will allow us to then purchase boots. All boots will be compiled at the JCA and distributed by volunteers to local schools every week.

"Access to winter boots provides a normal childhood experience. By the end of January, we handed out over 100 pairs of boots from the Joe Bornstein Winter Warmth Drive."

"For many of our approximately 400 students, winter is a new experience, there is no stigma around the process and that allows for a lot of excitment and ability to make it a big deal."

"I handed out a pair of boots to a new student, they were brand new boots when they put these boots, they looked up at me with the biggest smile and jumped into my arms with the biggest hug."

"This program has a tremendous positive impact on our students and provides access and stress relief for families. It's a huge deal!"

"So many of our families are financially challenged and cannot afford to purchase expensive winter boots, and they struggle to outfit their children to stay warm throughout the winter. With the support of this program, we have outfitted more than 100 students."
