Laundry Love is one of our main and most important programs. We fund two monthly Laundry Love programs, one in El Rio and the other in Port Hueneme. Laundry Love is a national program focusing on providing no-cost laundry services to no or low-income people across the country. Our organization provides pre-paid laundry cards to families to use at our monthly events, and through our partnership with Laundry Love, eco-friendly laundry detergent is provided at no cost by Earth Breeze. During these events we also have fresh fruit distributions for our attendees in partnership with Food Forward, a mini clothing "shop" for families to take from our collected in-kind donations, a Children's Program with arts and crafts and most recently a homework center where students attending with their parents can get free homework help. We often partner with local community organizations to distribute an "item of the month" to our families. In August the Lions District provided backpacks filled with school supplies.
