Uses for old swim suits

Hello All, I work with a great group of ladies making quilts for those that are less fortunate. We make the quilts all year round and then donate them to the local shelters and directly to those that find themselves living on the streets when the weather turns cold. We use almost all donated materials to make the quilts. We try to use nylon type materials, not only nylon but light weight materials, because it tends to dry much faster than other materials. We are always in dire need of materials. We have received a lot of old suits from my daughter's swim team and have found it very usefull. Her coach suggested that I try posting on the internet to see if others would be interested in helping our cause, so here it is! We cut the suits into smaller pieces we can use so the condition of the suits does not matter at all(we have received some that were just pieces). I was wondering if any of you would be interested in donating your old suits to a worthwhile cause? It is also a great way to recycle the old suits and keep them out of the landfills! If you are interested you can post here or email us at Quilts4homeless@yahoo.com God Bless, Jennifer

    My team and our associated age group team has been collecting suits for Jennifer this month. I've left a couple messages with her for her address but haven't heard anything back. Does anyone have her mailing address that they could PM to me? The administrators are tired of having the box sitting in the office. Thanks so much! Stephanie, I am having the same problem. I have sent several messages but have not heard back. I have Jennifer's mailing address from two years ago, when I shipped her a box of suits, but I hate to ship something to that address today without knowing whether it is still correct.
