This sounds silly.....?

Question

We have this teen group home in are area (about 20 minutes away) that opened up 2 years ago. They keep 25 girl teenagers at a time. I was in the store today and since it is the off season, I saw these comfy blankets for $3 each! I bought all they had in the store and backroom (total of 42). When I got home, I called them and they explained how they just threw out all the blankets (1 on each bed) because they were 2 years old and getting ratty however, they only needed 25 (one for each bed). Where is another good place to bring them to?

Answer 1

Not a silly question at all. I think you're wonderful for doing this.

A good place would be a Domestic Violence Shelter.  They often have overwhelming needs and are not often thought of by the donating public.

Answer 2

God bless you for doing such good things for your community out of the kindness of your heart.  You make me want to cry happy!  You can give them  to a local church that does work like that, and see if they can find people in need of them, I know many churches do work like that

But omg you make my heart happy knowing that there are such loving people in the world :)))

Mayb you have an absolutely wonderful week :))

Answer 3

Pre-schools that do nap time, might be of use to the extra blankets.

Answer 4

Yes -- domestic violence/woman's shelter - those ladies sometimes leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and most have kids and have to start over with nothing -

there are also pregnancy organizations (I can't think of name) - like for young mom's, they help get them cribs and such.

I think it is great that you are helping other people - I think of doing stuff, but don't end up ever doing it...

Answer 5

I would give them all to the teen home, because once those first 25 run out, then they can have the others for spares!

Answer 6

can't you store them for in a couple of years when you need to replace them? If you don't want to then animal shelters are always calling out for blankets

Answer 7

donate them to the homeless!

Answer 8

Call your local church, senior housing or ask the group home if they would like the extras!
