Pat Ranttila reports on our Airplane Surplus Project

To summarize the extent of the Airline Surplus Project since mid-year 2012 our Club has donated to 186 agencies and schools with a minimum of 50,000 comforters, 50,000 slippers and 50,000 amenity kits. These items plus airline lotions, hangers, pillows & pillowcases, silverware, and razors have helped complete about 150 – 200 “Welcome Baskets” to the new formerly homeless residents for Mercy Housing Lakefront's 27 facilities per year since 2008. We have supplied the Leyden High School LIFE program authentic work for three school years sorting the used amenity kits retrieved for us by Scrub Cleaning Services. The sorted boxed items have been given to shelters, care facilities and for rebuilding amenity kits for specific needs. We have impacted so many lives with our efforts!!
