Donate a coat: Chinedu is collecting for 63 families

A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at the Lotus Mosque.

Asaba
I coordinate donations at the Lotus Mosque in Asaba. 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 2 to 14 years. If you're in Asaba, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Lotus Mosque on Thursday 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 the Lotus Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
