Laundry Love

---

Laundry Love is now alternating between two sites: Spirit Valley Laundry (232 N Central Ave) on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Tuesdays of the month; and East Hillside Maytag (820 E 4th Street) on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. We hope that this new arrangement makes the program accessible to more people. Please check the date to make sure you are headed to the right location!

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

Any low-income person or family. 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. Volunteers will do their best to help everyone, but funds are limited and may run out before the scheduled program end time.

Laundry Love Duluth is run by volunteers from area congregations, 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. We partner with Maytag Laundry and Spirit Valley Laundry, and are part of a national Laundry Love network.  

Laundry Love is funded through small gifts and fundraisers. Contributions are welcome! Checks can be made out to Chum with "Laundry Love" in the memo or donate by PayPal. Donations of supplies are also welcome. Ongoing needs include:

• Ground coffee and disposable coffee cups (paper preferred) 
• Single ride DTA bus passes
• Dryer sheets (unscented/hypoallergenic preferred)

(please note that Laundry Love is NOT in need of detergent at this time)

Laundry Love is also seeking additional congregations and community groups to join us as partners. Partners adopt one Laundry Love shift per month and help raise funds and recruit volunteers. Individual volunteers are also welcome.
