I coordinate donations at Pioneer Refugee Centre in Rome. 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 toddler through teen. If you're in Rome, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Pioneer Refugee Centre on Monday between 11am 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 Pioneer Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I hope life is good to you.
