Clean laundry success with candy and donations

 

We had a successful and busy Loads of Change today with lots of new faces and some early Halloween candy. We spent $721.25 (which includes individual Lion donations of $26, as well as a couple of donations of quarters totaling $15.25 from people at the laundromat!), helped 28 people do laundry for 59 people. That was 166 washing machine loads and 115 dryer loads. 

Many thanks to our Kingston Cares lady for her donation of laundry pods and Tide sink washing kits, as well as Lion Pat Rae for a big roll of trash bags, and to Lion Ray McMahon for LOTS of candy.

 

Special thanks to Lions Ray, Michele Grenier, Lee Metcalf, Pat, Ken Hatton, Dennis Tesch and Terry Blais for their volunteer hours.

Wanted: Group to help with Loads of Change

 

Our clean laundry program has grown! Poulsbo Lions are spending $600-$700 a month on our Loads of Change service project and could use some help.

 

We'll be starting our 7th year of Loads of Change this October. It's not unusual for us to get some donations at the laundromat of quarters, $20-$40 cash, laundry pods, toiletries and body wipes. What we can truly use is more cash - either at the laundromat or via Paypal (poulsbolions@gmail.com) or by check (see the flyer below).

 

 

Additionally, we'd love for another group - civic, church, etc. - to offer a program similar to this maybe once a month so there are 2 dates and times to choose from. It's a dream!
