Donate a coat: Sebastian is collecting for 86 families

I coordinate donations at Acacia Refugee Centre in Oakland. 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 Oakland, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Acacia Refugee Centre on Thursday between 9am 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 Acacia Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
