Each family resides at the Upward Bound House for a period of three months as they get back on their feet. When the family leaves, they take their bedding and towels with them to their new homes. The designers have essentially adopted their rooms for the span of a year, during which time they will ensure that the rooms stay pretty for the next family. As such, the designers are still accepting donations, particularly for bedding and towels. Please contact one any one of the designers involved in the project to donate bedding and towels for families in need.
