"A new type of ministry is currently being organized that aims to help
further lift up the Racine area’s homeless through what is, for most of
us, the everyday act of laundry.
"Laundry Love is a fairly simple program:
volunteers take over a local laundromat – in one city they choose the
slowest day of the week – and they pay for both the washing and drying
of homeless individuals’ clothes.
"In the video accompanying this story, Laundry Love is described as
both a way to connect and build relationships between the poor and the
community and as a 'modern day foot washing.'”

Sounds like a wonderful thing to do.
I cant help but to be sad, reading this. It reminds me of the woman who thought she was doing a wonderful, charitable thing by passing out quarters to those in need at a Racine laundromat. A maniac wound up kidnapping, raping and then killing her.

Yep, do gooders are often killed by the people they try to help.
