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 US is attached to this man. His desire for worth and welcoming is found in all of us. 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.
