Could you maybe ofter to wash & fold clothes from a church or social organization that routinely gives colthes away or have rumage sales? I'm sure some of them would really appreicate your offer to wash, fold,and sort the clothes. Maybe one of your residents would sew on a button or rehem something. What a great service project for higher functioning residents!! GREAT PR for facility, too.
: : Oh, great idea to donate the folded clothes. How often do you do that? Even at yard sale prices the clothes could really add up.
:
: Pay very little , usually check to see if they want to donate "explain nursing home project etc"
: or see if when it is all over if they would let me pick them up... Also get a lot from staff and families..once they learn what we are doing..We donate about once every 2 months..
