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.
