The Laundry Love initiative consists of regular opportunities to come alongside people who are struggling financially by assisting them with their laundry. Laundry Love partners with local laundromats in cleaning clothes and linens of low-income or no-income families and person(s). We see the laundromat as an inclusive and welcoming place where strangers become friends, people are known by name, hope is hustled, and the worth of every human being is acknowledged and celebrated.

St Peter's is committed to the first and third Wednesday of each month to the Laundry Love Ministry.  The Laundromat is on the corner of 1st and Bandini Street in San Pedro.  It is identified with a large Laundry Love banner hanging outside.   

We provide quarters and small bills, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, (or any type of food you would like to provide) water, soft fruit, laundry soap and dryer sheets. The volunteers provide quarters for the machines and the clients put in their clothes. The washing and drying time is for fellowship and to hear their stories. This community is hungry and appreciative of the food they receive. 

We arrive with supplies by 5:45PM.  We start with a prayer - standing in a circle with those we are going to serve.  Then the work begins.  We conclude our evening by 7PM.  

This is a fulfilling and important ministry.  The Laundy Love opportunity can be served as a family, couples, group of friends, Scouts, youth group, and Small Group Bible Study.
