Donate a coat: Mackenzie is collecting for 22 families

A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at the Baobab Family Centre.

I coordinate donations at the Baobab Family Centre in Chicago. 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 Chicago, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Family Centre on Saturday between 11am 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 Baobab Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
