Chestnut Hill Square To Host Linen Drive To Benefit Welcome Home

CHESTNUT HILL, MA — Chestnut Hill Square will host its annual linen donation drive to benefit Welcome Home, a home goods pantry based in Newton.

Welcome Home serves communities in the Chestnut Hill area and partners with local businesses to provide families experiencing hardship with the basic household items they need to live with dignity.

“Welcome Home works on the front lines by providing basic home goods items to families in need with no fees, forms, or requirements,” Julie Plaut Mahoney, Executive Director of Welcome Home, said in a statement. "Many of our clients are leaving shelters for permanent housing, and new immigrants to our communities. We are expecting our first Ukrainian families in the coming weeks and are so grateful for our continued partnership with Chestnut Hill Square.”

From Monday, April 11 through Saturday, April 30, donations of clean, new, and like-new items can be dropped at Athleta in Chestnut Hill Square. Items most needed include blankets, comforters, and sheets (queen size preferred), towels and new, non-decorative bed pillows.

“Welcome Home is a wonderful organization that is making a difference by providing home goods to our neighbors in need,” Rebekah Macchia, Marketing Director of Chestnut Hill Square, said in a statement. "Chestnut Hill Square is pleased to continue our partnership with Welcome Home, and we look forward to a successful linen donation drive."
