Winter coats and boots for 37 children at the Union Primary School in Duque de Caxias

I coordinate donations at the Union Primary School 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 the Union Primary School on Thursday 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. Glad we found this place.
