Friendship

This is where it all begins. The leadership team gets asked what happens at Laundry Love Santa Ana quite a bit. It feels like our friend Pourio captured this quite well on Thursday. It starts here, with people lining up for hours. For clean clothes. Something many folks have magically appear in their drawers.

But the really amazing thing, is that this is not where the story ends. Within an hour its not uncommon to see dancing, laughing, smiling.

Friendship. That is what Laundry Love Santa Ana is all about. Connecting with people.

Friendship is what Laundry Love Santa Ana is all about. We bring people of different backgrounds together so that they can all make new friends. What happens after is in your hands.

Would you consider helping to run our next event? How about volunteering at our small unadvertised location? Perhaps you’d like to make a donation? What about coming out once a month for the 511 Santa Ana movie night? These things sound like tasks. They sound like work. But truly, this is the stuff of friendship.

Love this.
It’s so true. And I value the friendships I’ve made so much.

What is Laundry Love Santa Ana?

A regular opportunity to help people who are struggling financially by assisting them with doing their laundry. Relationships are built, and we hope to become a small community of common concern in which participants find that they receive assistance and benefit with other areas of their lives as well.
