I coordinate donations at the Baobab Family Centre in Oakland. 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 Oakland, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Family Centre on Tuesday between 10am 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 the Baobab Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Grayson. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Malmö.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours!
