On Tuesday, St. Michael’s Episcopal Church is launching a new ministry in Hays called Laundry Love. The Laundry Love initiative helps to wash the clothes and bedding of individuals or families living in poverty.

From the infant to the aged, and across a broad spectrum of ethnicity, culture and personal story, Laundry Love seeks to nurture the well being of each person through intentional networking and friendship.

In the Hays community, Individuals and families in financial distress must make hard choices all the time about how to spend their limited resources, and some things that most people take for granted, such as regular laundry, become a burden. Laundry Love provides a way to help ease that burden in some small way.

Laundry Love-Hays will take place on the third Tuesday of the month, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the 27th and Hall Street Laundromat. Members of St. Michael’s provide the detergent, the quarters and a friendly face. Guests will be able to wash/dry up to three loads at no cost if they are single, and families will be able to wash/dry up to five loads. Guests are not required to demonstrate their eligibility. This ministry is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
