What is Laundry & More?

Laundry & More is dedicated to providing clean clothes and bedding for individuals living in poverty in Lawrence, Indiana. Our mission is to support each person’s well-being through genuine friendship, community connections, and the love of God.

Why clothes and bedding? 

Health and Hygiene

Dirty clothes and bedding can harbor parasites, bacteria, and viruses, putting individuals—especially those without access to nutritious food and healthcare—at greater risk. School staff often share with us the emotional toll this takes on children and teens experiencing homelessness or financial hardship. The embarrassment and bullying that can come from wearing unwashed clothing only deepen their struggles. Laundry & More exists to ease both the physical and emotional burden that poor hygiene can cause for those living in poverty in our community.

So, I get the “Laundry” part, what’s the “& More” all about?

At its core, this ministry exists to share love and offer hope to those living in poverty. We create a safe, welcoming space—a supportive community where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Through meaningful relationships, we connect individuals with vital resources like food, job training, Bibles and journals, and, most importantly, with people who truly care.

What to expect?

Those who come to the laundromat are not clients, but Friends and Neighbors. Lawrence is not just a place on a map, but our neighborhood, and home. We emphasize that to each person that we encounter, because we feel it brings the community closer together. People who participate can expect

To see and be seen.

To hear and be heard.

To talk with.

To know and be known.

To be offered, and asked, if they need help, and then given the needed resources.

To join together, forming a community, friendships, and relationships rooted in the love of God.

Your support allows children to go to school with confidence, reduces the risk of illness, and creates opportunities for genuine human connection through the simple act of doing laundry.
