Local NonProfit Offers Free Laundry Facilities

February 25, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Have a Gay Day is offering free laundry facilities to those in our community who need to do a load of wash completely free.

This facility serves as a convenient and accessible space for members of the community to do their laundry. To ensure a smooth and efficient process, we have implemented an appointment system, allowing individuals to schedule their laundry sessions.

One of the key highlights of this initiative is that the laundry service will be completely free of cost. We understand that laundry expenses can be a burden for some community members, and we want to alleviate that stress by providing this essential service without any charges. Each person will have the opportunity to do two loads of laundry during their scheduled appointment.

If you’re in the Dayton Ohio area and you need to do a load or two of laundry please sign up on our website for our free community laundry service https://haveagayday.org/community-laundry-room/

In addition to the free laundry service, Have A Gay Day is also committed to gathering personal care items specifically for the laundry. These items will include laundry supplies such as detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets. By providing these necessary supplies, we aim to ensure that everyone who uses our service has access to a well-equipped laundry experience.

We are thrilled to be able to offer this Community Laundry Room as a resource for our community. It’s our hope that this initiative will not only provide a practical solution to laundry needs but also foster a sense of support and unity within our community.

Note:  This service is designed to help someone with essentials.  Like washing clothing to be able to get to work or to school or to make it through an emergency situation.  This is not designed to do a whole household of laundry.  This service is designed for clothing, not bedding, heavy coats, pet toys, or any items that are not wearable day to day garments.

No more than 12 pounds of laundry per load / please weigh

Please Check Your Pockets!

Detergent must be rated for a High Efficiency Washer please ask the front desk for a complimentary bottle.

Do not use powders, scent boosters

Please check washers and dryers before using them. We are not responsible for clothes damaged due to articles left by those before you.

Don’t overload the machines. Overloading machines with clothes as well as using too much detergent can damage the machines.

Be Clean. Keep the laundry room neat and clean of any spilled detergent or any mess. Keep clothes off the floor. Check to make sure you have all of your items before leaving.

Make sure you clean the lint trap after every use.

When leaving make sure the washer and dryer doors are kept open.

Be respectful.

If you need any help using the machines please ask.

Laundry Appointments are Once a Month.

Q@A

Question: Do I need to bring my own detergent?
Answer: No, we will provide detergent. 

Question:  If I have someone bringing me can we each do a single load of laundry?
Answer:  Your appointment allows you the use of two stackable washer and dryers.  You may use them as you wish within the rules set.  If you have a friend or family member that you wish to share your appointment with you may, but it will not add to the time of your appointment. 

Question: What if I’m running late for my appointment?
Answer: We allow for 10 minutes to arrive beyond your appointment.  If you’re not able to make it in time or no-show you will need to wait until the next month to re-schedule.  Please remember laundry appointments are only once per month at this time.

P & G Product Kits and Tide Loads of Hope Laundry For Tornado Victims

May 31, 2019 By Lisa Grigsby

Families, individuals and first responders in need of personal care items, cleaning products or laundry services in the wake of the Ohio tornadoes can thank Proctor & Gamble for bringing help to town.

Two Tide Loads of Hope Mobile Laundry Units have been deployed to support relief and recovery efforts in the wake of the devastating tornadoes in the Dayton and Celina, Ohio areas. The Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry vehicles will begin services in Dayton and Celina on Friday, May 31, providing free full-service laundry services to residents affected by the recent tornadoes. Residents can bring clothes (up to two loads per household) to be washed, dried and folded free of charge for those directly impacted by the flooding. All washable clothing types can be accepted with the exception of heavy bedding.

In partnership with Matthew 25: Ministries, P&G will also be distributing free personal care and cleaning kits with everyday essentials, providing food, accepting supply donations and coordinating volunteer cleanups at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Dayton.  The Personal care kits contain P&G brands including Always, Crest, Head & Shoulders, Ivory, Gillette, Old Spice, Oral-B, Pampers, Pantene, Secret and Venus. The cleaning kit contains Bounty, Charmin, Dawn, Febreze, Mr. Clean, Swiffer and Tide.

 

P&G has a history of giving back to the communities where we live and work, and we want to provide everyday essentials to those who need it most to help bring a sense of normalcy in this time of need. These services are free and available to people affected by the disaster and the volunteers who are helping to respond.

 

Today, Friday, May 31, the team will collect laundry from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM ET in Dayton and Celina or until a maximum number of loads are reached (two loads per household) at each location. The team will also be distributing personal care and cleaning kits as well as food at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds.

The Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry units will be located at:

 

Home Depot

5200 Salem Ave

Dayton, OH 45426

 

Walmart Supercenter

1950 Havemann Rd

Celina, OH 45822

 

P&G will distribute personal care and cleaning kits and will be accepting supply donations at:

 

Montgomery County Fairgrounds

645 Infirmary Rd

Dayton, OH 45417

People across the community can help support Tide Loads of Hope by purchasing a Tide Loads of Hope vintage t-shirt or by donating directly at www.tideloadsofhope.com. $4 from the sale of each tee goes toward helping families affected by disaster.
