There are several campaigns calling for assistance and for volunteers to help in delivering and sorting items and food.
One of them is named "Friends of Refugees," and another is "Humanitarian Assistance for Refugees in Bulgaria." They connect and coordinate a number people who want to help; collect needed items and funds; pack and transport them.
They say jackets and all kinds of clothing, blankets, diapers, pots, pans, forks, knives, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and towels are always welcome.
