San Antonio
I coordinate donations at the Maple Family Centre in San Antonio. 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 San Antonio, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Maple Family Centre on Wednesday 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 Maple Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

                          Wishing you peace, Benjamin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
