Winter coats and boots for 18 children at Acacia Women's Shelter in Ekurhuleni

I coordinate donations at Acacia Women's Shelter in Ekurhuleni. 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 Ekurhuleni, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Acacia Women's Shelter on Sunday between 10am 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 Acacia Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
