We are searching for coats! We have had request from several refugee mothers who need coats for their children. We need many sizes so please consider donating any coats your children or teens have outgrown. We need women’s sized coats and a few men’s coats as well.

Yes, we have collected coats before. Our friends at Refugee Empowerment also collects and hands out coats each year. The need is great so everyone pulling together to help is good. Remember that refugee children grow just like our children do and we therefore have a need for coats each year. We also have new refugee families coming into our city all the time who may have never owned a coat. I have even seen some of the women in our class hand their coat to an older refugee friend who didn’t have a coat which leaves them needing a coat again. One other thing, refugees often come in to our city after years of being malnourished. Their coat sizes change sometimes just because they are eating better and getting healthier. 🙂

Warm caps, socks, gloves and scarves are also welcome. Please donate items in good condition. Please no stains, smoke, holes, broken zippers or pet hair. Some refugees are allergic to that. Rule of thumb: If you wouldn’t give the item to a family member as a gift then please don’t give it to our refugee friends. Give as if you were giving to Jesus, because you are! 😉

Every opportunity we have to give out of the abundance that God has given us is an actual opportunity for us to love and serve Jesus. We appreciate your hearts to help us keep our friends feeling warm and loved through the colder winter months.
