What happens to the donations?
Carolyn Garrard, public relations director, for Covenant House Houston explains that their kids want to wear all the same labels and brands that other teens wear. So the donations that aren’t age-appropriate, either for small children or older adults, go to other shelters. “Nothing ever goes to waste around here,” said Garrard.
Of course, the many men’s suits that have been donated today are especially appreciated by the residents for job interviews.
In between unloading the big laundry hampers, residents have been stuffing packets with Covenant House information.
