Laundry Love South Florida began serving the community in October 2019 and is open and welcoming to all who are in need. It is a human care initiative that helps to wash the clothing and bedding of the individual or family in need, regardless of their background. Laundry Love South Florida serves the Hollywood, Pompano Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida communities. The program provides independence and a sense of dignity to community members who need a hand with basic necessities.
In 2019, All Saints Episcopal Church launched the first Laundry Love South Florida ministry at The Laundry Spot Hollywood. In 2023, the program expanded to The Sock Monster in Pompano Beach as a ministry of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Martin Episcopal Church and The Laundromax in Fort Lauderdale as a ministry of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.
In October 2024, Laundry Love South Florida celebrated its fifth anniversary of helping those in need. In just 5 years, 258 volunteers helped 1977 guests clean 9,691 wash loads, or 177,556 pounds of dirty laundry, approximately 89 tons of clean clothing and bedding at the Hollywood location. In 2024, the Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale locations also provided amazing levels of service to guests in their first year of operation.
Thanks to our generous donors, our volunteers at our locations provide funding to the laundry machines, along with free detergent which allow our guests to wash and dry their own laundry. Thanks to our corporate partners Bomba’s socks and Earth Breeze detergent, we also provide free socks and detergent to our guests. We also regularly provide pizza, bottled water, cookies, candies, etc. to our hungry guests.
