Warm clothes needed: the Lotus Family Centre families in Shinjuku

I coordinate donations at the Lotus Family Centre in Shinjuku. 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 toddler through teen. If you're in Shinjuku, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Lotus Family Centre on Saturday between 11am and 4pm. 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
