Every year the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive brings together 113 neighbors in Calamba. I help organize it with 10 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for set-up, serving, translation and clean-up. Shifts are three hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers. It's a family-friendly day, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day. If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • how flexible is the timing?

    • Leo L. GalangOwnerAnswer

      Weekends are easiest but I'm flexible, just say which days you can do. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Minneapolis.

    • where would this be? I'd like to bring a friend

      • Leo L. GalangOwnerAnswer

        Safety matters to me. I can share references and we can meet in public first. Happy to explain more.

    • Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

      • wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 20 people at work. Greetings from Addis Ababa.

        • Rooting for you, Leo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Caloocan.

          • I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
