Laundry love

Laundry Love is deeply grateful for the unwavering support of Northwest Community Friends Church (Quakers) in Tucson. Volunteers want to especially recognize Siew Lilley who recently hand-delivered rolls of quarters and laundry packets with dryer sheets to parishioner Marilyn Lindell.

This support helps continue the impactful work of the late Cliff Franks (1935-2021), a key founder of Laundry Love. Cliff’s involvement was inspired by Marilyn Poppino, a cherished member of Saint Philip’s and former Music Director at Northwest Community Friends Church, who helped initiate the project.

Now, Northwest Community Friends Church parishioner Siew Lilley enthusiastically continues to coordinate Cliff’s work for the benefit of Laundry Love and thus periodically reaches out to Marilyn at Saint Philip’s. On Friday, September 11, Siew delivered church members’ donations of $140 (all quarters!) and 11 packets with supplies. This generous donation will fund an additional 33 gift cards for those in need of this service.

It is a joy to have the supportive partnership of Northwest Community Friends Church and Saint Philip’s is very grateful for their continued participation!

All are encouraged to support the Laundry Love project with monetary donations of any sort. To donate online, please click here and select “Give to Laundry Love” when making your donation.

Thanks also go to parishioner Chuck Babcock, who happened to be in the Tucson Mall food court and was willing to be recruited to be the photographer!
