I coordinate donations at the Baobab Mosque in Fresno. 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 Fresno, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Mosque on Tuesday 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 the Baobab Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
