Goodwill Partners with Max I. Walker to Make Scrubs Available to Area Hospitals
Goodwill Industries, Inc. Omaha (goodwillomaha.org) recently partnered again with Max I. Walker Dry Cleaning & Laundry for a Sleepers & Scrubs Drive to collect scrubs and preemie and newborn sleepers and make them available to area hospitals. This latest partnership was spurred by a second occurrence in the last several months of a healthcare worker requesting, via social media, donations of preemie and newborn clothing items for their hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. Goodwill and Max I. Walker also decided to collect scrubs—more than 425 pairs—to have on hand for Omaha hospitals to request when they need extra. Max I. Walker provided the laundering services and will coordinate delivery for each request sent to info@maxiwalker.com.
“This is the fourth time we’ve partnered with Goodwill in the past year, and it goes to show just how much of a different it can make when you find a partner you can rely on,” said Casey Walker, director of retail operations at Max I. Walker. “Especially in times like these, local businesses can do a lot of good when they work together to support each other and the community.”
Many people recognize Goodwill Industries, Inc. as a place to donate used clothing and household items or find great bargains, but their mission is to provide job training and placement services to people with disabilities and other disadvantages.
