Chris SistrunkHave too many conference swag bags?
Fill it with these items to give to a homeless person. #alittlebithelps❤️
Magen Wu@chrissistrunk also, take all the hotel amenities with you. I recommend taking all the refill shampoo, soap, conditioners, and vanity kits when available and donate those.
@magen that's a great idea and I used to do that. I have rarely stayed in hotels (and travel in general) since the pandemic. I expect it to ramp up next year.
The last hotel I stayed in, they switched to big dispensers for soap, shampoo, and conditioner (I presume to cut down on plastic). I'm not sure how many hotels still have individual amenities.
@chrissistrunk In my experience starting back up again, it varies but I’ve seen at least two bars of soap consistently available and replaced daily so far. Also, I highly recommend keeping an eye out for sales in feminine products as those are usually REALLY hard for shelters to come by in donations.
