Join the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive: Shirley needs helpers on Friday

We're short of hands for the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive; can you spare a morning?

Every year the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive brings together 503 neighbors in Rochester. I help organize it with 4 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Best of luck, Shirley. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care

      Sending love, Shirley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

        Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

          Thanks for sharing this, Shirley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

            Rooting for you, Shirley. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

                    You're not alone. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Pretoria but we're thinking of you
