Clean Clothes for the Homeless

Every morning you wake up and you are able to shower and get dressed in clean clothes that you were able to wash the night before. You're lucky... there are many families that do not have that same luxury.  Many are stressing about where the next meal will come from. Families that live the comforts in an encampment don't necessarily have that same option. 

This year SNAP will dedicate the funds raised to provide families with laundry vouchers. All it takes is a donation of $10 from you. In 2018 more than 40% of parents with primary school children have had to forgo basic hygiene or cleaning products because they cannot afford them, according to a study, reported by Neil Shaw. With covid-19 and the increase of encampments across the Twin Cities, SNAP wants to help improve the quality of life for these families. Encampment growing in size and concern talks toward solutions | KSTP

We are partnering with laundry facilities in North Minneapolis and the surrounding suburban area to issue laundry vouchers. It only takes $3.00 to wash and dry 1 load. Imagine not being able to change into a clean shirt or pair of pants. A family of 4 averages about 5-6 dirty loads a week. But many that are homeless/ shelter less may not have that much.

Voucher Increments

• $10 will wash and dry 2 loads
• $20 will wash and dry 4 loads plus detergent and dryer sheet
• $50 will provide a family of 3 laundry service for 2 weeks
• $100 will provide a family of 4 laundry service for 1 month

We never really stop to think how much we take for granted the ability to feel clean, access to clean water, or clothes. You can make that difference today and donate so someone else can share the same feeling.

By providing families with a laundry voucher, they will have to option to use them when needed. They do not expire and can not be exchanged for cash. DONATE TODAY!
