Help a child in need: Drop off new coats and toys anytime before December 15
Next Tuesday, December 19, SEIU 1021, SEIU 2015 and Oakland Mayor
Sheng Thao will be giving away literally thousands of coats and
toys to local kids who might otherwise not have much under the
tree this year.
But we’ve got a problem: More families than expected have signed
up for the giveaway, and we need more coats. We are still 500
coats short. We need your help to make sure local kids
stay warm this winter!
