I USE IT because my mom used it before me and I'm a robot child.
From Tide's Loads of Hope Website: Tide Loads of Hope helps in the aftermath of a natural disaster by providing clean clothes and a sense of comfort to families in need. Partnering with Feeding America, we travel to disaster affected neighborhoods with the Tide Loads of Hope truck or vans and offer our free mobile laundry service. (Please start with my house because the disaster that hit my place was called Hurricane Laziness)
They use 32 high-efficiency washers and dryers stationed on the truck and can do 300 wash and dry cycles a day -equal to one year's worth of laundry for a single family which means they wash about 9,000 loads of laundry over a four-week period.
In partnership with a local laundromat, the Tide Loads of Hope vans provide free laundry service at the same load rate as the trucks leveraged during disasters where neighboring communities still have a source of electricity.
To date, Tide Loads of Hope has washed more than 35,000 loads of laundry for over 20,000 families. Most importantly, the Tide Loads of Hope program means we're equipped to take action whenever and wherever there is a need in our country. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the need for clean clothing became critical, and Tide found a way to help. So in November 2005, the Tide Loads of Hope truck headed to Camp Hope in the Metairie, LA area and cleaned over 10,000 loads of laundry. The spirit of this first venture informs and inspires everything Tide Loads of Hope program does.
Thanks a million! We appreciate any help you can give us to get the word out.
Sincerely,
Jenny Lauck for the rest of the BlogHerAds team. (Please come to my house first. I'll let them use my Tide if they bring pie. If you have to cheat to win I have NO problem with that).

Yay Suzy's team! Great cause.
ReplyDeleteDear Suz,
ReplyDeleteI have decided the appropriate punishment for Berny Made-off would be to come do my laundry. I never thought about making him bring me pie too!
Great cause... My house isn't an "official" disaster, but if they pulled their truck 'o washers/dryers up to my house they might be able to get through the mess of laundry in, let's say, a week?
