I coordinate donations at the Cedar Family Centre in Yokohama. 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 4-12. If you're in Yokohama, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Cedar Family Centre on Tuesday between 9am and 3pm. 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 the Cedar Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Yokohama.

    • I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Istanbul

      • you're not alone, Hayato. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best

        • Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. God bless.
