A nonprofit in Austin, Texas, is helping people experiencing homelessness one load of laundry at a time. Laundry Angels on Wheels fills a basic need by providing a mobile laundry unit for the homeless to wash their clothes.
It’s something most of us take for granted, but we all need clean laundry. And Ebonie Trice saw the homeless community in need and she stepped up to do something about it.
She started by founding the nonprofitMission Accomplished, which would collect dirty clothes from those living in homeless camps, wash them at the laundromat and then return them. And when the pandemic hit, the service evolved into a mobile laundry trailer, which is now known as Laundry Angels on Wheels. It comes right to the homeless shelters to help people without permanent housing right where they need it.
Trice likes getting to have the face-to-face interaction of the people her nonprofit serves. She says, “It’s such a different impact right now because we get to, like, talk to them.”
