I coordinate donations at Jacaranda Refugee Centre in Riverside. Every year around this time we hear from families who have nothing warm for their children, and this year demand has more than doubled.
We're collecting clean, gently used or new coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves in sizes kids' 3 to 5 and women's S-L. If you're in Riverside, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Jacaranda Refugee Centre on Saturday between 9am and 2pm.
If you're elsewhere, you may offer to sponsor a coat through a local shop - message in the comments and we can coordinate.
Items go to families directly and the rest to the Jacaranda Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Patricia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Bloemfontein this morning. Greetings from Bloemfontein.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Keep going. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
