I coordinate donations at Lotus Refugee Centre in Alcalá de Henares. 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 Alcalá de Henares, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Lotus Refugee Centre on Friday between 11am 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 Lotus Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal

    • Sending good thoughts, Silvia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
