🎉🧺 WASH. DRY. CELEBRATE!

Another successful "Laundry Of Love" event! 💙

A huge THANK YOU to Molina Healthcare, Community Health Center - Fort Dodge, King Koin Laundromat, and UDMO/1st Five Webster County, who volunteered, donated, and helped make this Free Laundry of Love Event possible!

Because of YOU, families in our community were able to take care of one more thing on their to-do list—clean clothes, health checks, resource information and a little less stress. 🫧✨

LAUNDRY OF LOVE - August's registration is FULL!!

67 families. That’s 67 families who need help with something most of us take for granted. The need is great... our impact is even greater!

The August 27th Laundry of Love event is officially FULL, with all 67 spots registered. This overwhelming response doesn’t just fill King Koin Laundromat --- it clearly shows the very real and urgent need for laundry support in our community.

Every load washed is one less burden for a family. Every person who gives their time, resources, or support helps restore a little more dignity, comfort, and hope.

An extra special thank you to Molina Healthcare, Community Health Center-Fort Dodge, King Koin Laundromat, UDMO, 1st Five and all of our community partners who helped share the information with families! This shows the positive impact we are making on families!
