WGTS 91.9 Listeners Provide Laundry Detergent for the Homeless
(Washington, D.C.) – WGTS listeners extended hope to hundreds in 2024 in the form of much-needed laundry detergent. It was a unique way of helping many families with a basic and important need. Over the year at Sticker Stops and more, listeners donated 1,347 bottles of laundry detergent to this Hands and Heart campaign, billed “Loads of Hope.” This translates to more than 76,000 loads of laundry!
The Rockville Women’s Center was one of the recipients. Thomas Ozio, promotions assistant, says, “During that visit, we handed out laundry detergent directly to a few young mothers. They were so excited for the relief, and were happy to the point of tears, because they got to select their favorite brand from the huge pile of detergent.”
Places that also benefitted included the Dulles South Food Bank, The Community Hope Center (located at Seneca Creek Community Church), Cornerstone Chapel, and The Lamb Center.
“Being the hands and heart of Jesus through giving opportunities like this is core to our belief in serving others. Giving hope with needed items like laundry soap is just one way to serve those in our communities,” says Kevin Krueger, president and CEO.
