Winter coats and boots for 16 children at Maple Refugee Centre in Dortmund

I coordinate donations at Maple Refugee Centre in Dortmund. 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 Dortmund, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Refugee Centre on Sunday between 10am and 2pm. 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 Maple Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
