Volunteer day: Neighborhood Winter Coat Drive, Ikeja

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 395 neighbors in Ikeja. I help organize it with 9 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for set-up, serving, translation and clean-up. 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Busan.
