Our Newest Program

Because of the generosity of our donors, we added a new program in 2022. Many arriving refugees have large extended families living together, often with many young children. The cost of using laundromats has increased so much that it is financially out of reach for many families, leaving them washing all their clothing by hand and trying to dry it inside their apartment.  Laundromats are often located in unsafe areas of the city or can be hard to reach for refugee families who rarely own a car.  Saint’s Place is working with a local appliance store to purchase washer/dryer sets for large families and have them delivered and installed. This relatively small investment of $1,200 per family makes a huge difference in their lives. Over the last year, we have given twelve families new washer/dryers.  Our intention is to give 2-3 washer/dryer sets per month.
