Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers – TROSA Inc. is the largest multi-year residential substance abuse treatment facility in North Carolina. TROSA helps more than 500 residents from all over the United States end their substance abuse and build new lives. The program provides housing, medical care, dental care, counseling services, continuing education, vocational training, trade certifications, job skills and many more opportunities for individuals who all share a determination to recover from addiction and become productive members of the community. TROSA places emphasis on vocational training and job skills help individuals build a strong work ethic that they take with them when they graduate the program. 

TROSA had their first COVID case in December, and since then has drastically changed some operations at their campuses. They now use some of the dorm-style buildings for quarantining residents who test positive for COVID and their primary contacts. In the event of COVID-positive residents, a team of dedicated staff go in and sanitize the entire residential building, strip bedding and relocate the residents into the quarantine quarters. Due to the congregate living situation, maintaining the sanitation of properties has been a key component to controlling the spread of COVID in the community. The extra financial burden to supply the TROSA community with needed bed linens, disinfectant, masks and cleaning supplies has been a challenge.

TROSA is currently in need of tax-deductible product donations of bed linens for over 500 residents who are continuing to rebuild their lives during these new and challenging times. Twin/twin XL comforters, blankets, flat and fitted sheets, as well as pillowcases, washcloths and towels are needed. Any and all you can give would be greatly appreciated. They are happy to accept "reject-linen" that may have minor defects, stains or tears. 

TROSA is a 501(c)3 organization and will provide you with a receipt for tax purposes. Anything you can do will go a long way to help!

To make a donation of any kind, please contact Tiffany Love, TROSA In-Kind Partner Associate, at 919-419-1059, extension 1247, or email inkind10@trosainc.org.
