WHO: Families, individuals and first responders in need
of personal care items, cleaning products or laundry services in
the wake of Hurricane Ian in southwest Florida.
WHAT: The Tide Loads of Hope Mobile Laundry Units,
powered by Matthew 25: Ministries, have been deployed to support
relief and recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Ian throughout
southwest Florida. On Tuesday, October 4, the mobile laundry
vehicles will begin services in North Fort Myers, Florida, at the
Walmart Supercenter at 545 Pine Island Rd., providing free,
full-service laundry to residents affected by the recent floods.
Residents can bring clothes (up to two loads per household) to be
washed, dried and folded free of charge. All washable clothing
types will be accepted, with the exception of heavy bedding.
In partnership with Matthew 25: Ministries, P&G will also
distribute free personal care kits with everyday essentials as well
as cleaning products to meet basic hygiene and home care needs
directly into the affected areas of those impacted by the
disaster.
WHY: Hurricane Ian – a Category 4 storm with up to
150-mph winds – hit the southwest coast of Florida on Wednesday,
September 28, causing a life-threatening storm surge of up to 12
feet and destroying thousands of homes and buildings. Communities
have been severely impacted, resulting in loss of life and leaving
over 2.6 million people without power or access to clean water.
P&G has a history of giving back to the communities where we
live and work, and we want to provide everyday essentials to those
who need it most to help bring a sense of normalcy in this time of
need. These services are free and available to people affected by
the disaster and the volunteers who are helping to respond.
WHERE: Starting on Tuesday, October 4, the team will
collect laundry from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at the location listed below
until daily capacity has been reached. The team will also be
distributing personal care kits and cleaning supplies directly into
the affected areas.
The Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry units will be located
at:
Walmart Supercenter 545 Pine Island
Rd. North Fort Myers, FL 33903
