The Simple Things

• One of our volunteers recently wrote some interesting thoughts regarding a friendship that formed out of Laundry Love Santa Ana.  Here is an excerpt:

  He wasn’t my “homeless friend.”  He IS my friend.  At one point he was homeless.  Sometimes he helps me with yard work.  We met at Laundry Love Santa Ana.  All those things are true.  But fundamentally, he is my friend.  Who he is should not be defined by where he sleeps.

  Check out the rest of it.

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.
