In anticipation of moving to a new facility the shelter’s need for linens has grown. As we’re preparing to move to a larger building with the ability to house more residents we’re asking not only for help moving but also for supplies. One of our goals for the residents at the shelter is to prepare them to get a job and obtain their our place to live. When our residents leave we prepare a small package with necessities for their new home. These items include towels, washcloths, sheets and cleaning supplies if we have them.As a community partner Residence Inn has been sharing towels and sheets for our residents who are living at the shelter and when they leave the shelter. Residence Inn donates linens to the shelter on a regular basis and this is a big help with our constant need for linens. Just think of us as a 78 bed hotel that has no vacancies most of the time.Being part of the Marriott Corporation Residence Inn also strives to help with community engagement and social responsibility. Part of their commitment is: “committed to alleviating poverty, feeding the hungry, and creating places of refuge for people in times of disaster.”You can also help by donating items to the shelter. Some of our high need items currently are white twin sized fitted sheets and white towels.
