What is Laundry Love?

March 2020 UPDATE: We have suspended Laundry Love to comply with local and state guidelines for social distancing. We provided vouchers to our friends in Waimanalo that enabled them to wash and dry their clothes this month, without having to gather in a large group. We believe that suspending Laundry Love is a way that we can show love to our neighbors. To read the information sheet that accompanied the vouchers, please click on the link below. We look forward to resuming Laundry Love in the future.

Laundry Love consists of regular opportunities to assist people who are struggling financially by helping them wash their clothes. Laundry Love seeks to bring economic relief to individuals and families.By paying to wash and dry the clothes of our guests who are living in shelters, motels, cars, garages, on the street or in one of our local parks we help them redirect funds toward food, medical expenses, transportation costs, school supplies and other basic, everyday necessities. For those living below the poverty line, washing clothes presents both a logistical problem and a financial hardship. In partnership with a local laundromat in Waimanalo, we hope to serve these valuable members of our community in the Name of Jesus.

Want to Support Laundry Love?

We'd be happy to receive the spare change you find between the cushions of your sofa, in that bowl on the kitchen counter or the coins in your pockets and turn them into clean clothes for our friends in Waimanalo. Drop off your spare change (we'll take spare bills and checks, too) in the laundry tub at First Prez’s Ko’olau campus on Sunday morning. You can also contact Pastor Tim Shaw at 808.532.1117 if you would like to make a donation. Thank you!
