CESRT

The refugee detention centers on the island of Chios, Greece, are currently overflowing and refugees are still arriving daily. CESRT (Chios Eastern Shore Response Team) provides support for the refugees. Right now one of their most desperate needs is clean underwear for women. We're seeking donations of NEW women's underwear (in sizes S, M, L, "modest" styles) for CESRT. A big shout out to Tracy Hope for connecting Zharity to this organization and teaming up with us on the collection. We'd love to continue supporting this vital organization. Feel free to reach out if this kind of charity work sparks your soul as we'd be glad to meet and brainstorm ways to continue support.

Heilpädagogische Frühberatung Winterthur

We also have a wish list from our partner, Heilpädagogische Frühberatung Winterthur, an organization supporting families that have children with special education needs. Many of their families do not have the resources to buy clothes, strollers or toys for their children and we do ongoing work to fulfill family wish lists. We are looking for books and puzzles for 1-3 year-olds and Duplo Legos, including train Duplos. There are several special-request larger items that would be wonderful: young children’s bikes (3 and 5 year-old); a dollhouse with accessories; 2 play kitchens; a children’s table and chairs (wooden); and a double stroller.

If you need help getting donations to a collection point, feel free to contact us and we can help you out. Feel free to reach out with any other questions. 

Many, many thanks to you all!
