Give a few hours to the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive - everyone is welcome and no experience is needed.

Every year the Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive brings together 191 neighbors in Wellington. I help organize it with 5 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for set-up, serving, translation and clean-up. 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Valentina. Your post was clear and honest.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Wellington. I'll ask around and let you know
So sorry you're going through this, Valentina. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Wellington.
Stay strong, Valentina. More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor in Cambridge donated after I showed her your page
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
