Volunteers assisting with clothing closets

    Do any of you have closets for patients to be able to get clothing upon discharge, and if so, are volunteers involved in any way? 

    I was asked about having volunteers receive clothing donations, wash them and organize them in the closet.  I don't think we'd allow volunteers to operate our commercial washers/dryers, and I'd think that we'd want to keep the laundering inhouse.  Even if it was allowed, I wouldn't want to ask volunteers to launder items offsite. 

    I could see volunteers sorting, folding, organizing and inventorying items in the closet.  Please share if your volunteers are involved with anything like this, and what the role looks like (job description would be awesome).  Thanks!
