Every year the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive brings together 212 neighbors in Lagos. I help organize it with 6 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for registration, sorting donations and carrying boxes. Shifts are four hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers. It's a fun day for all ages, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day. If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you. Glad we found this place.

    Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Aurora.

    • Best of luck, Bukola. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

      • Sending love, Bukola. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Lagos.

        • Stay strong, Bukola. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Epe.

          • Hang in there, Bukola. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

              • Hang in there. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Stockholm but we're thinking of you.

                • Keep going, Bukola. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Blessings.

                  • Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Lagos.
