Laundry Love

What is laundry love?
The story of Laundry Love began with T-Bone, a gentleman
living in Ventura California. In one particular conversation, a
question was asked of him: “T-Bone, how can we come alongside
your life in a meaningful way?” His response was honest and
practical. “If I had clean clothes, people would treat me like a
human being.”
Every single Laundry Love effort around the U.S. is attached to
this man. His desire for worth and welcome is found in us all.
We all yearn to be treated as human beings. We never thought
that this simple conversation in 2003 would spark an idea that
continues to influence and care for thousands of people every
month. The creative and collective energy used to sustain,
expand and share Laundry Love with you reminds us that every
human being has tremendous worth, value and possibility.
Laundry Love Mission
Laundry Love (LL) washes the clothes and bedding of low/no
income families and person(s) across the U.S. We brighten the
lives of thousands of people through love, dignity, and deter-
gent by partnering with diverse groups and laundromats nation-
wide. The friend of LL may be entirely without shelter or living
in a motor vehicle, weekly/monthly-rated motel, low income
housing or transitional shelter and experiencing financial struggle
or loss, or may be seeking asylum or residency in the U.S.
