Clean clothes are something most of us take for granted, but for many in our community, the cost of laundry can be a real barrier. Without access to clean laundry, daily life gets even harder.

The Loads of Love Laundry Program helps by covering the cost of washing and drying clothes. On set days, volunteers meet people at local laundromats and provide quarters, soap, and dryer sheets so families can do their laundry for free.

Bethany Lutheran Church in Rice Lake started the first program in Barron County, and together they’ve already provided hundreds of loads of clean laundry. Now, more organizations are needed to help the program grow.

Together, we can bring a simple but powerful kind of care to our neighbors.
