Bedding and Linens

Many of the organizations we support can use new and/or very gently used bedding and linens. If you do send gently used things please ensure they are usable. Do not send anything stained, torn, or threadbare. Most beds are twin size or doubles.

Sleeping bags are very useful for those who have no beds. Many families on Pine Ridge have some family members, if not all, sleeping on floors for lack of beds. To help provide beds for Pine Ridge please click here.

Here are some suggested items that can be used and the organizations that can utilize them:

• Afghans — all sizes
• Bath mats
• Bath towels
• Blankets
• Comforters
• Hand towels
• Kitchen towels
• Mattress pads — twin, full, queen
• Pillow cases — standard
• Pillows (washable) — twin
• Quilts — all sizes
• Sheets, flat and fitted — twin, full, queen
• Sleeping bags for those with no beds
• Washcloths
