Spreading Comfort, One Sheet at a Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you stay at a hotel, guests expect and experience great hospitality. With plush beds, sets of soft towels, and pristine linens, it\u2019s a place of comfort, cleanliness, and abundance. One of the main goals of the hospitality industry is to make sure guests feel cared for, so after your first night, you can likely find your bed made with new sheets and fresh towels in the bathroom. But what happens when the linens are no longer suitable for use in hotel rooms? Linens N Love has the answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linens N Love co-founders May and Vivian Wang grew up very familiar with the hospitality industry, as their father managed a hotel near Disneyland. May recalls, \u201cI remember playing in the breakfast room, building forts using the sheets, pillows, and towels from the hotel. As I grew older, I came to understand that hotels have franchise standards, and the items I was building forts out of were meant to be discarded.\u201d Hotels aim to provide the best service possible, which means they hold the quality of their linens to a high standard. A coffee stain, a small tear, or even a pen mark meant that these linens’ next destination would not be another guest room, but a landfill. Bothered by this, May and Vivian decided to change the fate of these linens by creating Linens N Love, a nonprofit that gives them a chance at another life and purpose through partnerships with shelters around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
