A Trip Down Memory Lane

The Past

About 6 months ago, a group of us sat down and talked about trying to learn more about the folks in Santa Ana and get to know them and what we could do to help.

Laundry Love Santa Ana was born out that conversation. We looked at some of this in this post from August.

The Present

Since then we have done almost a thousand loads of laundry, formed relationships with many folks who are homeless, struggling families in the area and many non profits, churches and businesses who are passionate about helping.

The Future

Its been an amazing journey and we are excited you are a part of it. We hope you will consider helping to run future events. You simply need to fill out this form.

Also, if you are in marketing, PR or own a business, support the community through a through a sponsorship

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday at 730p at 511 East Santa Ana Blvd for a brief orientation. Please consider bringing a box of detergent, a roll of quarters or some dryer sheets. Parking is sometimes a challenge due to the overwhelming response from THIS community to help serve the needs of Santa Ana. Please do carpool if at all possible.

Thank you again for your generous support of this initiative.
