Deepwater Horizon Spill Response Program

GCLS has initiated an oil spill response on the Gulf Coast called 'Operation Towel Aide" GCLS is coordinating efforts to receive 'ragged out' towels from hotels and laundries throughout the country. We will then ensure they are clean, divide into 25 lbs bags and deliver at no charge to a any wildlife organization within our delivery area which is approximately 180 miles.

Our Trade Association, TRSA is promoting our efforts nationally. Take a minute to read their request for towels: http://www.trsa.org/trweekly/060710.htm#2

Anyone interested in donating or receiving towels (and/or sheets) should contact:
