Soap.\n\n It's about everywhere here and so we don't really think about what a game changer it is in terms of health.\n\n Hand washing significantly reduces the spread of fatal diseases: acute respiratory infection and diarrheal disease. These are the top two killers of children less than 5-years-old in other countries, but we don't really hear about it much. This is where CTW comes in with distributing soap and preventing more deaths. SSOO simple, so it's crazy to me that this still happens in the world outside of ourselves. \n\nMakes sense to have this here as we are a hospitality city and many of our strip hotels throw away hotel toiletries daily. Apparently since inception, 1.2million lbs. of this has been prevented from just going into the landfils. So it saves lives, AND is a green environmental cause too. \n\nOur little group of Yelp rockstars sorted soap from various hotels (mostly Vegas, but this facility receives all of the West Coast) into liquids and solid soaps.  It's pretty easy so we were able to chat while doing it but you just have to be okay with standing on your feet, lifting buckets and getting soapy (though you have gloves, and masks if you're fragrance sensitive). We got to laugh at some of the odd things that made it into the bags - like a hotel roomservice plate, sewing kits, and lots of fake eyelashes stuck on bars of soap. Haaa. \n\nThe other CLW locations (Orlando and Toronto) are more automated with their soap making but this location is still doing a lot of things by hand so they definitely need the help! They still hand scrape the debris of the bars, hand crank to grind them, mix into sanitizing solution, bake and mold so they don't make too much soap but sort and send a lot to the mechanized factory in Orlando until they can get their own huge setup. The two employees are really chill and nice.... email them to volunteer now! \n\nIt's a worthy cause and will definitely go on our rotation of places to help. Look for the monthly UYE volunteer series that a few of us Yelpers are planning to commit to. This started with Yelp Helps month, but the goodness shouldn't end there.
