Warm clothes needed: the Maple Mosque families in Bakersfield

I coordinate donations at the Maple Mosque 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 Maple Mosque on Saturday 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 Maple Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Thanks for being kind about this.
