From Roger, our Tactical Medical Support Director:
We are always looking for donations of new, unwashed sheets and bath towels for the 332nd Main Hospital in Balad, Iraq.
With the huge increase in numbers of US and allied casualties that they treat there, normal supply chains just can't keep up. Many of the linens have to be discarded because they are blood-stained and ruined.
Please contact me for a mailing address if you want to help. Sheets must be new and unwashed. Twin-sized, any color, any pattern (the wounded guys love superhero sheets) flat or fitted. Also, standard sized pillows and pillow-cases. Bath towels too - new and unwashed.
Can you help? Or maybe your church or other civic groups would like to get involved? If you can help, e-mail me for more info.
Another recent urgent need is for sweat pants and sweat shirts (zippered shirts are best) for 6 different Combat Support Hospitals. In many places, the bathroom facilities are outside and recovering patients need to have something to wear out in the cold to go use the facilities. Plain colors - navy, black, grey. Sizes small, medium, and large. Clothing without any logos is best, but sports teams is probably ok. Avoid any questionable pictures or writing, of course.
Also needed for other CSH locations: blankets, toiletries, personal hygiene items, over-the-counter cold medicines.
