Join the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive: Laura needs helpers on Monday
We're short of hands for the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive; can you spare a morning?
🇷🇴 București, București, Romania940 views
Every year the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive brings together 209 neighbors in București. I help organize it with 7 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for serving food, washing up and welcoming guests. Shifts are two to 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
- effort
- 3-hour shift

Keep going, Laura. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Wishing you the best, Laura. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Sending love, Laura. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Bowling Green donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Bowling Green.
More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Laura. Hope you get there. Thinking of București.
Thinking of you and your family, Laura. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
