I coordinate donations at the Lotus Family Centre in Bakersfield. 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 Bakersfield, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Lotus Family Centre on Monday between 11am 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 Lotus Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Take care, Carlos. I hope things turn around soon. Take care!

    • Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Jaipur so I could bring a meal. All the best.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Carlos. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
