Together we can offer 'Loads of Love'!
The Unsheltered Services Team in collaboration with Morris Laundry at 375 S. Front St. Steelton, 17113; are able to serve our community’s unhoused population with free laundry services on once a month.
It is our goal to provide everything needed: a van ride to and from local homeless encampments, coins, detergent, softener, snacks and conversation! Those we serve leave with clean clothes, connections to services, and hopefully knowing how much they matter!
Want to Volunteer or get involved? Here are 4 Ways to offer Loads of Love...
- Sponsor: Loads of Love costs between $250-$300 each month. Every little bit helps. Covers the cost of machine use for 11-15 folks w/ 2-3 loads each. You can mail a check made payable to CCU with "Loads of Love" in the memo line to: CCU, Attn: Loads of Love, 413 S. 19th Street, Harrisburg, PA 17104 or contact Lisa Kessler Peters to sponsor a Load of Love Day (contact info below).
- Monitor or Volunteer: For in person/direct engagement with our unhoused population. Unsheltered Services Team members are always present as well as Morris Laundromat Staff.
- Provide Washer/Dryer Supplies: We especially love Ziploc-type bags containing 2-3 detergent pods and 1-2 fabric softener pods or dryer sheets (or pods that combine detergent and fabric softener).
- Provide Snacks/Meal/Drinks: All food items should be individually wrapped. Drinks should be individual cans or plastic bottles (no glass). To provide an actual meal, please contact Lisa-Kessler Peters to discuss details.
