Donate a coat: Theodore is collecting for 112 families

I coordinate donations at the Cedar Mosque in Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 toddler through teen. If you're in Newcastle upon Tyne, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Cedar Mosque 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 the Cedar Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
