NEW YORK—College freshmen picked up recycled linens, blankets, and other dorm essentials in Manhattan on July 28 from a program run by two moms who realized how much can be reused after their children finished college.
Liz Gruber and Tara Smith Tyberg created the Grad Bag organization in 2012. Grad Bag volunteers collect comforters, blankets, sheets, laundry bags, hangers, and other products such as lamps, fans, decorative pillows, storage containers, and mirrors.
