Love and dignity since 2003

Laundry Love is a neighboring movement that partners with groups, schools and
local laundromats to wash the clothes and bedding of low-income and/or no-income
families and person(s).

what we do

The Laundry Love initiative consists of regular opportunities to come alongside people who are struggling financially by assisting them with their laundry. Laundry Love partners with local laundromats in cleaning clothes and linens of low-income or no-income families and person(s).

We see the laundromat as an inclusive and welcoming place where strangers become friends, people are known by name, hope is hustled, and the worth of every human being is acknowledged and celebrated.
