Penn Yan, NY, July 17, 2009 (FPRC) -- Sassy Scrubs recently had the privilege of helping an organization with 40 years of experience in assisting those with drug and alcohol addictions to recover and maintain their lives. Walden House, based in San Francisco, helps to treat more than 3,400 men, women and children daily - by offering the compassion, resources, and services necessary for people to change their lives. The organization teaches, houses, clothes and feeds those with addictions in the city of San Francisco and throughout California.
Sassy Scrubs became involved with this organization when Walden House contacted Company President, Karen Bradley, to request a scrubs donation. The uniforms were not requested for the staff of Walden House, but for the people who arrive at their doors seeking help.
Often the people who seek assistance from Walden House are the most difficult to reach – the mentally ill, those stricken with AIDS, emotionally disturbed and abused adolescents, the poor, and the homeless, and many come directly from jail or prison. Due to the addictions they face, combined with their often destitute living situations, those appealing to Walden House for help typically have only the clothes on their backs when they arrive. Walden House provides the new arrivals with showers, new clothes, and warm food as the very first steps on their road to recovery. The organization requested scrubs as a comfortable and safe solution to the problem of helping to clothe the new arrivals as their “wear in” clothes are laundered, and their new wardrobes are prepared.
Walden House was extremely appreciative of the donation and explained that they were in “dire need” of help from Sassy Scrubs. The Penn Yan (NY) company, which manufactures custom made nursing and medical uniforms, was pleased and proud to be able to help the Walden House residents on their path to a new life.
