Families, individuals and first responders
in need of personal care items, cleaning products or laundry
services in the wake of the Ohio tornadoes.
WHAT:
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,

begin services in Dayton and Celina on Friday, May 31, providing
free full-service laundry services to residents affected by the

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.
