Radical Reach: Serve Opportunity- Loads of Love

Help us lighten the load for families in our community!
Throughout June, we are collecting detergent pods and quarters for our Loads of Love donation drive. These simple items can make a big difference for individuals and families who rely on local laundromats.
There are three ways to get involved:
GIVE – Donate detergent pods or rolls of quarters.
SERVE – Volunteer to help package donations on Wednesday, July 1, at 6:00 PM.
REACH – Join us as we distribute Loads of Love to local laundromats immediately following service on Sunday, July 5.
