Receive Linens For Your Community Organization
No more holiday blanket drives, fundraising for a few sheets, or staff hours wasted searching for donations. We provide the linens you need — you contribute what you can to help keep the program alive.
Tons of linens received. Tons of money saved.
We know how fast linens are used up in animal shelters, housing centers, ministries, and street outreach programs. Buying new ones is costly. Searching for donations takes valuable time. That’s where we come in: we do the outreach, coordinate pickups, and connect you directly to high-volume, reliable sources of linens, all year round.
Our nonprofit connects community-serving organizations like yours with high-quality towels, blankets, and sheets provided by our hotel partners, so you can stretch your budget further and serve more community members.
There’s no upfront cost or contracts. You’ll simply receive your linens, and contribute what you can to help us cover the service so we can keep this going for you and others.

Stretch your budget — contribute only if satisfied.
You’ll receive hundreds of dollars’ worth of linens per pickup with no upfront cost. Afterward, simply contribute what you can to help offset the average $33.50 it cost us — zero risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
We ask all participating hotels to professionally clean linens before pickup using industrial-grade detergents and laundering processes. While we can’t directly verify or control every partner’s internal practices, we work with reputable hotels have not experienced sanitation issues to date.
No — these are gently used, high-quality linens. We ask hotels to prepare for us linens that are fit for human dignity. Hotels typically replace them due to small stains, minor sizing inconsistencies, or undergoing a renovation and the parent brand requiring them to replace all bedding.
To keep logistics simple and costs low, we don’t offer custom selection and sorting. When a batch is available, you’ll get a summary based on what the hotel has shared with us (e.g. number of boxes/bags and general contents like towels, sheets, or pillowcases). You choose whether to claim that batch.
Currently, organizations pick up directly from hotels. We coordinate timing so pickups are efficient and smooth. We don’t offer delivery at this time, though this may change in the future if sustainable.
You’ll start receiving alerts by email when linens are available nearby. Claims are first come, first serve. Once claimed, you choose a pickup window, and we send confirmation details. Linens are pre-bagged or boxed — just load and go.
To remain accessible and equitable, we do not charge any upfront cost as we understand that large and small organizations have varying budgets but still a tremendous amount of need for blankets and towels. After pickup, your organization contributes what this service was worth to them. On average, it costs us $33.50 to coordinate a pickup (calls, outreach, matching, confirmations) and provide you with hundreds — or thousands — of dollars worth of blankets and towels.
We front these costs first, in good faith as a fellow nonprofit organization. If you’re satisfied, please contribute a fair service fee to help keep the service sustainable. There’s zero risk — you decide after you receive your linens.
If we find any abuse of the system, including resale of linens, we reserve the right to pause access so we can prioritize limited supplies fairly.
Any community-serving organization focused on care, dignity, and sustainability is welcome — including shelters, housing centers, ministries, street outreach programs, food giveaway groups, animal rescues, sober living programs, and grassroots efforts.
Alerts depend on hotel availability and your location. It could be as often as weekly or every few weeks. The more active your region’s hotels, the more frequent the opportunities.
Bring a vehicle large enough for the batch you claimed. We ask our hotel partners to have linens pre-packed in boxes or bags, ready for easy loading. You’ll receive exact pickup details in your confirmation email.
