Another successful Laundry Love day!
We are so proud to partner with the Laundry Love initiative. Here's what went on last week.
On Valentine’s Day, All Saints Church celebrated love at Laundry Love! We welcomed guests not only with their laundry, but we also had pizza, festive Valentine’s themed cupcakes, delicious fruit tarts, and bags of Valentine’s candy for all of the guests (and volunteers).
Speaking of volunteers, we worried some of our regular volunteers wouldn’t be available to join us due to Valentine’s Day. Mother Leslie and Rich put out the call for volunteers to make Laundry Love their time to celebrate the holiday of love and boy did you answer! We are so thankful for our 22 volunteers, many of them first time Laundry Love volunteers: Rich, Mother Leslie, Katie C., Father Carl, Diana, Father Todd, Ron, Dave, Julie, Steve, Bill, Bruce, Chris, Florence, Joe, Carol, Helen, Nick, Sharon, Katie M., Lorraine, and Joan.
Thanks to our incredible volunteers, we helped 36 guests wash 182 loads of laundry, which is about 3,640 pounds of clothing and bedding!
We also offer many thanks to the many Laundry Love supporters in the community and at All Saints, who support this ministry through contributions of money, detergent, fabric softeners, and other laundry supplies.
