I coordinate donations at the Lotus 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 Lotus Primary School on Wednesday 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 the Lotus Primary School 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.
