Mobile Laundry

What is Mobile Laundry?

Watch our video here!

The mission of the Mobile Laundry Program is to break down barriers to success for low-income families and for adults experiencing homelessness in Larimer County, through free, mobile laundry services. Our Mobile Laundry truck is equipped with six sets of washers and dryers. We identify regular, predictable locations in Loveland and Fort Collins for program participants to drop off their dirty clothes and then pick them up 90 minutes later (or at the end of the day), clean, dry and folded!

Mobile Laundry Locations:

Tuesdays - Fullana Learning Center, 220 N Grant Ave, Fort Collins-parked in back, off Loomis St (Families and Individuals)
Thursdays - Loveland Public Library, 300 N Adams, Loveland (Individuals and Families)
Fridays - Loveland Public Library, 300 N Adams, Loveland (Individuals and Families)

Laundry drop-off between 8:30 and 11:00 AM (or until full; first come, first served). Pick up clean laundry no later than 3:30 PM of the same day.

*Note: If it is a very cold day, the volunteers will be washing laundry at a laundromat, NOT in the truck. If you arrive late and the truck is not there, that means the slots are full and the volunteers have already left for the laundromat.*

Why Laundry?

Larimer County (Poudre, Thompson and Estes) School Districts report, on average, 2,175 students experience homelessness each year. Families who lack a fixed, regular place to live struggle to meet their basic needs-including access to laundry. Larimer County school personnel report that students are negatively impacted by the lack of clean clothing, including school absences, social stigma and self-esteem issues.

The Loveland community lacks sufficient laundry services for people experiencing homelessness and not having access to clean clothes is a proven barrier to success. Primary hygiene needs such as laundry are often overlooked but essential for anyone trying to secure employment, compete for affordable housing and regain their self-sufficiency.
