We’re in the final stretch of our Detergent Drive, and every single donation matters more than ever.

For many of our unhoused friends and families, access to clean clothes isn’t just about appearance. It’s about dignity, health, and opportunity. Clean clothing can mean the confidence to go to a job interview, the ability to attend school without stigma, or simply the comfort of feeling human again. Something as simple as detergent becomes a powerful tool for restoration.

Through this drive, Helping Hands, Open Hearts is able to support community laundromats and provide supplies that keep our neighbors feeling seen, respected, and cared for.

We can’t cross the finish line without you.

Here are ways you can give:
💜 Donate detergent (liquid or pods), fabric softener, or dryer sheets
💜 Make a monetary donation to support bulk purchases
💜 Share this post and spread the word

Every bottle, every dollar, every share brings us closer to making a real difference.

Let’s finish strong—together. Thank you in advance!

Cornerstone Baptist Church of Dallas TX has opened Cornerstone Community Laundromat back in Sept 2019. It had been over 10 years since that area in South Dallas had a functioning laundry mat. It's a "Pay What You Can" laundry mat.

Rhonda Willingham with Making It Count, Inc has Wash Wednesday where our homeless friends can bring their items to wash for free.
Even those who can pay, may not have detergent (or enough detergent) to wash their clothes.

We want to be a blessing to these organizations!
To kick it off, can I get 100 friends to donate $8 each.
We can't do any of this without you. We thank you in advance for your continued support of us, to support our communities.
😁. Thank you kindly 💜
