Advice - where to donate 20 brand new baby towels

[hpsaucey]

Hi there. I've got 20 brand new baby towels for newborns - the ones with hoods. Anyone got any ideas about someone - charity/hospital that might need them and come and collect (car-less)...

Lewisham Hospital Community Midwives keep a box of clothes & baby bits which I think is for those who they consider need it/need some extra help. I'll need to check tomorrow, but if that's the case, they might well welcome some hooded towels? If you're in ED then I'm happy to come & collect. Can I get back to you on it (if they haven't already gone)?

Hi Helen -

There's a lovely local-ish charity (Lee, near Blackheath) called Lee Oasis. I donated my moses basket, breast feeding pillow, unused nappied and lots of baby clothes recently - and they came and picked up.

Their website says: "We re-home donated furniture, household items and baby equipment free to families leaving hostels and disadvantaged people of all ages around Lee, SE12 and surrounding areas.

We receive referrals from resettlement hostels, supported housing services, health visitors, women's refuges, refugee workers, Connexions and the drug intervention program DIP."

The mobile contact works better than the email address listed.

I would send them to homeless people with kids

Crisis are collecting towels for homeless families this year

That's good to know about Lee Oasis, I've got lots of stuff I could give them.
