In 2021 and 2022, we helped provide assistance with washing over 10,000 loads of laundry and have heard from so many how this seemingly small act of kindness made a huge impact on their ability to care for other needs.  While our mission is to help the less fortunate wash their laundry, we also believe that we are helping to change the lives of anyone we get to meet, 1 load at a time.  From the stories we hear at each event, we know that they are at least changing our lives.  Currently, we have 6 scheduled laundry events each month at 6 area laundromats, and the cost to be able to meet the demand continues to grow, but averages $300-$800 for each location.  We have not had to turn away anyone who has needed the help during these events, and we hope that we never have to.  

Are you wondering what you can do to help our mission?  We need volunteers, financial contributions, donations of allergy friendly laundry detergent and dryer sheets, personal care products, donations of items for our fundraising events, business sponsors and more.  We would appreciate sharing our event information on social media to ensure that we reach more and more people who we know need our help.  We would LOVE to see local schools and organizations participate in some healthy competitions and host drives to help collect the products we need.  

We would love to talk with you more about how you can assist us with continuing our mission in Northwest Ohio and continue to expand to help more in our area who are in dire need.  More information about our organization and events can be found on our Facebook page or our website at https://operationcleanduds.org. We have a direct donation link on the website if you prefer to contribute in that manner.  

Thank you for taking the time to share our mission in any way that you can.
