Donate a coat: Maria is collecting for 49 families

I coordinate donations at the Pioneer Family Centre in Houston. 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 Houston, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Pioneer Family Centre on Monday between 10am 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 Pioneer Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
