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

So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Peoria
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Sending love, Randall. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Aurangabad this morning. Love from Aurangabad.

Thinking of you, Randall. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

Thanks for sharing this, Randall. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Cambridge.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Peoria.
Rooting for you, Randall. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Peoria.
