Laundry Love

Laundry Love began with a simple but powerful idea shared by a man named T-Bone in Ventura, California. He said, “If I had clean clothes, I think people would treat me like a human being.” That moment sparked a national movement, and in 2019, Peninsula Poverty Response brought Laundry Love to our community to help reduce the impact of poverty on our neighbors.

​

The program provides free laundry services every week to approximately 30 guests, offering not just clean clothes, but dignity and care. The program is 100% funded by donations from people who believe every person deserves to be seen, valued, and treated with respect. In addition, our local laundromats are our partners in Laundry Love, providing reduced costs for the service.
