If you have boxes of gently used clothes and a heart to share them, you are not alone.
Some Benbrook residents have been trying to support the local nursing home, but it has not always been clear who to contact or what is actually needed.
A while back, there was word that the Benbrook Nursing Home could use clothing donations. People stepped up, dropped off bags and boxes, and sometimes left feeling a little uncertain. Some were told to just leave the donations by the front door. Others asked what residents really needed, only to be met with a shrug.
If you are hoping your donations will truly be put to good use, you might consider calling ahead again or reaching out to other facilities. Wedgewood Nursing and Southwest Nursing and Rehab have also been mentioned as options that may welcome clothing donations.
Before you load your car, try to connect with a staff member who can give you a clear idea of what their residents could use most. A quick phone call could help make sure your generosity lands exactly where it is needed.
