HUGE laundry day for Loads of Change

 

Wow! It was a crazy laundry day March 19 during our Loads of Change. We spent $944.25 ($275 in Lions' donations and others contributed $25.25) helping a LOT of people!

There were 223 loads washed and 95 (lost count!) loads dried.

Many thanks to our small army of Lion volunteers - Ray and Ria McMahon, Dennis Tesch, Dennis Deitch, Lee Metcalf, Michele Grenier, Pat Rae, and Pat Osler.

 

If you're inclined to do so, we could use laundry pods, vinegar, bleach and contractor bags (the huge black ones). Donations may be made via PayPal to poulsbolions@gmail.com, or dropped off at John L. Scott Real Estate (attn: Dennis Deitch), on 10th Avenue, Poulsbo.

 

Our next Loads of Change is Weds., April 16 at The Village Laundromat for North Kitsap's unhoused and low-income individuals.

 

Thank you!
