I coordinate donations at the Union Primary School in Riyadh. 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 Riyadh, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Union Primary School on Saturday between 10am 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 the Union Primary School clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
