I coordinate donations at Acacia Women's Shelter in Pretoria. 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 Pretoria, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Acacia Women's Shelter on Saturday 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 Acacia Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Glad we found this place.
