Saturday, April 2 • 10 am – 12 pm
Clean out your closets and donate those old towels and linens to the Community Furniture Bank who will use them to help families set up new homes. You will be helping others and you will be recycling.
We’ll be at the same place as the last two years at Trinity United Methodist Church in Homewood. You will find us in the parking lot on Oxmoor Road closest to Dawson Memorial Baptist Church

At first count we received a total of 132 bags of linens and towels during our drive last Saturday. We doubled what we did last year. Once the volunteers at the Community Furniture Bank finish sorting I’ll let everyone know how many families it will serve.
When we came up with the idea to host a Linens & Towels Drive we knew it would take more than a few people to pull this off. I would like to say thanks to a few of them here.
Secure Document Destruction
They brought their on-site truck to the drive, accepting cash donations to the CFB in exchange for free document destructions
The Lollar Group
Holly Lollar and Tracy Smith gave their time to help us get the word out by providing PR services.
Trinity United Methodist Church
A long time supporter of the CFB, they let us use their parking lot for the second year in a row.
Twitter & Facebook Friends and Others
We depended on social media more this year and I want to thank my friends who help me spread the word about the drive through their retweets. I would also like to thank ABC 33/40 Talk of Alabama for letting us on their show and to al.com for posting our message on their site.
And I know I am missing many others and I apologize for the oversite. Thanks again and look for a few more messages about this years drive and get ready for next year.
