Winter coats and boots for 25 children at the Union Primary School in Oakland

I coordinate donations at the Union Primary School in Oakland. 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 Oakland, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Union Primary School on Friday 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 the Union Primary School clothing bank, which is open to everyone. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
