TOWEL DAY
Collecting Towels for People’s City Mission
“A towel, [The Guide] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” – Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Towel Day (May 25) started as a worldwide celebration to honor the memory of the late Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (the book from which we get our name).
When the People’s City Mission told us about their shortage of towels, we engineered a towel drive around this celebrated date to help address their easily overlooked need.
While this event has grown every year, so has the Mission’s need. This year, our Towel Day celebration is a 9-day rally across Lincoln to collect as many new or used towels as possible.
Towel Day 2021 begins May 17th and concludes May 25th.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
There are three big ways we can work together to meet this important need for the Mission:
Spread the word to your family, friends, and workplaces.
Donate new or used towels at one of the public collection sites.
If you’d rather give money for towels, head over to the People’s City Mission website. Click the Donate button and enter “Towel Day” in the comments box.
