Join the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive: Denise needs helpers on Saturday
We're short of hands for the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive; can you spare a morning?
🇺🇸 Pennsylvania, United States232 views
Every year the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive brings together 506 neighbors in Allentown. I help organize it with 9 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for serving food, washing up and welcoming guests. Shifts are three hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers.
It's a long-standing tradition, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day.
If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Denise. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Allentown
Sending love, Denise. Looking forward to the next update. I hope February is when things finally get easier
Sending love, Denise. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Boulogne-Billancourt so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Allentown.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Allentown
hope things get better soon. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Allentown.
keep going, Denise. Your post was clear and honest
Praying for you, Denise. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in New Delhi this morning. Love from New Delhi.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bologna so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Fortaleza.
Best of luck, Denise. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
sending good thoughts, Denise. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
hope it all works out, Denise. Great idea, hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
