MHS EMPLOYEES DONATE TO LAUNDRY LOVE OF ABILENE

Employees of Memorial Health System (MHS) in Abilene participated in another “Jeans Day” fundraiser throughout the month of January. Employees make a donation, of at least $2, and are allowed to wear blue jeans at work. A total donation of $892 was presented to Laundry Love of Abilene.
Laundry Love brightens the lives of thousands of people through love, dignity, and detergent, and gives a fresh start to neighbors in need. As part of a nationwide movement, Laundry Love partners with local groups and laundromats to wash the clothes and bedding of individuals and families who could use a little extra support.
In Abilene, free laundry nights are held every third Thursday, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (sign up begins at 5:45 p.m.). Volunteers cover the cost of up to five loads per household, offering help without judgment and no income requirements of any kind.
