Donate a coat: Sebastián is collecting for 56 families

I coordinate donations at the Lotus Mosque in Erie. 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 kids' 3 to 5 and women's S-L. If you're in Erie, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Lotus Mosque on Wednesday between 11am 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 Lotus Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
