Laundry Love

---

For the month of March, Laundry Love will be operating at the East Hillside Maytag (820 E 4th Street) on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, and at Spirit Valley Laundromat (232 N Central Ave) on the 3rd and 5th Tuesdays. Sign-in starts at 9am and continues until 10:45am. Please check back for updates about future Laundry Love dates and locations.

Laundry Love is a no-cost laundry service open every Tuesday. Laundry Love is staffed and funded entirely by volunteers who believe that everyone deserves dignity and clean clothes!

Any low-income individuals or families are welcome to use Laundry Love. Please bring with you proof of public assistance (for example: an EBT card, medical assistance card, or shelter or Section 8 verification) or student ID. You must arrive between 9am and 10:45 am on Tuesday to sign up and remain at the laundromat while your laundry is washing and drying. Laundry Love is a drug- and alcohol-free space. Children are welcome but must be monitored by their parents at all times. For more information on guidelines, see the flyer below.

Laundry Love is a collaboration between Stepping On Up, Laundry Love National , Spirit Valley Laundromat, and volunteers from area faith communities including Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Grace Lutheran Church, Lakeside Presbyterian Church, Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Duluth-Superior Society of Friends, Asbury United Methodist Church, Elim Lutheran Church, St Michael's Catholic Church, St Paul's Episcopal Church, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Unitarian Universalist Congregation, United Protestant Church, and Duluth Vineyard Church. 

Laundry Love costs approximately $500 per week to operate. It is funded through small gifts from individuals and faith communities, and occasional fundraisers. Contributions are welcome! Checks can be made out to Chum with "Laundry Love" in the memo and mailed to 102 W 2nd St, Duluth, MN 55802.

We are also seeking congregations and community groups to partner with us for a monthly Laundry Love shift. Partners commit to providing 3-4 volunteers and raising $100-$250/month. For more information, contact Joel at 218-302-0212 or by email.
