If you are interested in advocating for Mental Health within your community, then hosting a clothing drive is a great way to give back (without having to jump through all those paperwork hoops!).
GRHS has a population of 85% male and 15% female patient population, and we are consistently in need of adult clothing. The hospital provides basic items, but our patients feel more comfortable in jeans, sneakers, jackets, etc of their own. These items can be brand new or gently used. We are usually in need of male clothing the most, as well as shoes or jackets. As the seasons change so does the need. For example: October we need coats, April we need shorts.
Please contact me via email if you are interested in hosting a clothing drive to gather items to meet the needs within your community. Any items we cannot, or are considered contraband for our patients, are donated to other local organizations (so no donation is wasted or thrown away!).
We do NOT accept - baby/children's clothing, underwear, socks, ties, belts, watches, miniskirts, bathing suits, flip flops.
