Laundromat price increase
We helped 24 unhoused and low-income people wash 48 loads and dry 54 at our Loads of Change yesterday. Costs have increased at the Village Laundromat! We spent $410.50 ($40 of that were donations). Ray and Ria McMahon, and Terry Blais showed up, as well as Linda Prine and Lee Metcalf.
We would love donations of detergent pods, vinegar and even snacks. They can be dropped off at John L. Scott Real Estate on 7th Avenue for Dennis Deitch or Pat Osler.
