From Pittsburgh-Cleaning clothes can be a lonely chore at a coin laundry service.
It can also be an expense area families have a tough time fitting into their budget.
A Harrison City woman wants to lighten the load while sharing some love along the way.
“People that have clean clothes, they just feel better about themselves,” Karen Wolfe said.
Westmoreland County’s first Laundry Love location will open April 2 in Irwin at R.C.S. Laundromat on Main Street. Wolfe and other volunteers through The Church of the Advent in Jeannette will provide quarters, laundry soap and dryer sheets to anyone in need.
There are no requirements for those who receive the help, just that they show up. Laundry Love is a national initiative that connects neighborhood groups and coin laundry services with people who have little or no income. It’s pretty casual — there are no papers to fill out and volunteers get the first names and phone numbers of those participating as a way to communicate if needs change.
