The Power of a Fresh Load of Laundry


Imagine living outside in Austin, sleeping on the ground every night. Would you be excited about a laundry program that would help you do a load of clothing once a week? Our clients sure are.

We had a young newcomer the other day who squealed with joy when she found out that she could get a laundry pass with her picture on it, walk across the street, and use the neighborhood laundromat that we partner with.


Explosive Program Growth


The impact of this essential basic-needs service is expanding rapidly across our community. Driven by increasing need and steadfast donor support, client participation in our laundry pass program has surged by 222% year-over-yearβ€”climbing from 31 clients served in Q3 CY2025 to 100 clients in Q3 CY2026. This milestone brings our cumulative program delivery to 465 total laundry sessions supported since launch.
