Warm clothes needed: the Cedar Mosque families in Joliet

A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at the Cedar Mosque.

Joliet
I coordinate donations at the Cedar Mosque in Joliet. Every year around this time we hear from families who have nothing warm for their children, and this year demand has more than doubled. We're collecting clean, gently used or new coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves in sizes 4-12. If you're in Joliet, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Cedar Mosque on Tuesday between 9am and 3pm. If you're elsewhere, you may offer to sponsor a coat through a local shop - message in the comments and we can coordinate. Items go to families directly and the rest to the the Cedar Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Honest and trustworthy

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Hope it all works out, Micah. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

    • Ties Willem Smits

      hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 18 people at work. All the best.

        Hope things get better soon, Micah. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

        • Dinesh B. Sidhu

          Thinking of you and your family, Micah. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Joliet.

                thinking of you and your family, Micah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!

                • Teresa M. Ibarra

                  Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

                      Take care, Micah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Bandung.

                              Wishing you peace, Micah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Joliet.
