Have you ever wondered just how many pillowcases there are in this world and what do you do with so many of them?

When we get new ones, we seem to just put them away in the linen closet until one gets dirty or worn out. They sit there and wonder when they will be chosen next to be put at the prominent spot at the head of the bed.

Many of them will probably never meet a pillow and many of the old worn ones will see their demise at the bottom of the garbage bin.

They do however have a renewal of life when they are donated to a person in need.

We have found that they can be used to hold belongings of someone living out in the streets. They can also serve as a pillow with those belongings inside of them.

Many of our Homeless Neighbors are very creative when it comes to living on the streets. This is just one simple thing that our lonely pillowcase can do to help save someone in need.
