🌟Fresh Step Laundry 🌟
Fresh Step Laundry was founded by Wade Milyard in the summer of 2024. The inspiration for this initiative came from his experiences meeting unhoused individuals in Frederick during his time working as a police officer. He observed firsthand how essential having clean clothes was for their dignity and well-being. Recognizing this critical need, he decided to create a service that offers free laundry services for people facing homelessness.

Following the completion of the vehicle’s upfitting and necessary preparations, Fresh Step Laundry officially began serving the community last September.
