Laundry for kids

Midtown South Community Council supports "Laundry For Kids"
In New York City, 1 in 7 public school students will be homeless during elementary school. That is more than 140,000 children in the past six years.
Homelessness is more than a lack of housing. These children are not only struggling with maintaining a place to sleep, but also attending school, succeeding academically, and accessing supports for their additional educational and behavioral needs. ICPHUSA.org , 2018
District 2 of the New York City Public Schools System has over 200 elementary school children temporarily housed in shelters and hotels that do not have laundry services. All across the country, clean clothes have proven to reduce absenteeism and stigmatism of students living in poverty.

Every child needs to go to school confident and ready to learn. You can help make that happen.
We are reaching out to you in hopes that you will join the effort.
Midtown South Community Council is committed to helping these children.
With as little as $12 you can cover the cost of one large load of laundry.
All donations received will be used to purchase laundry certificates at participating laundromats in midtown Manhattan and or the certificates will be given to families in need.
Immediate funding is needed for laundry facility certificates for short term solutions.
We hope that you will donate to Laundry for Kids!
Goal: $5,000
End date: August 31, 2018
