Not your average gift registry...

I missed this story in the NY Times, but caught it on Broadsheet and thought it would be great to pass on the class. The original Times story is here.

New York's Bowery Mission Women's Center's funding ran out during renovation before they could supply nice blankets, comfy pillows and other items that would turn the mission into a home for its 16 homless residents. To solve the problem they set up a gift registry: one at Bed, Bath & Beyond (#1718811) and one at Gracious Home (in-store only, #639).

There are still plenty of items left, if you're able and so inclined to participate in the program.
