Warm clothes needed: Union Refugee Centre families in Duque de Caxias

I coordinate donations at Union Refugee Centre in Duque de Caxias. 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 kids' 3 to 5 and women's S-L. If you're in Duque de Caxias, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Union Refugee Centre on Saturday between 10am 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 Union Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
