Donate a coat: Sade is collecting for 86 families
Coats, boots, hats and gloves are needed before the cold snap.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria468 views
I coordinate donations at the Pioneer Community Church in Lagos. 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 Lagos, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Pioneer Community Church on Sunday between 9am 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 Community Church clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
