Laundry Services Guide

How to manage weekly laundry, event laundry, and professional laundry services — for volunteers and staff.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Weekly Laundry — Volunteer Rotation

Two volunteers cover laundry on an alternating weekly schedule, so laundry is picked up every week.

•        Volunteer A comes in on odd weeks; Volunteer B comes in on even weeks.

•        Each volunteer handles collection, washing, drying, and return of that week's laundry.

•        To reach the volunteers, contact the Laundry Support group in Planning Center Online (PCO).

Step 2: Event Laundry — Potluck or Small Events

For events such as potlucks, a participant typically volunteers to take the laundry home.

•        At the end of the event, ask for a volunteer to take the laundry.

•        Bag the dirty items in garbage bags and hand them to the volunteer.

•        Confirm a return date for the clean laundry before they leave.

Step 3: Large Event Laundry — Hiring Suds R Us

For large events with a high volume of laundry, contact Christine at Suds R Us. (Note: Contact Christine until Drew returns.)

•        Send an email to Christine at ctina579@gmail.com letting her know laundry is ready.

•        In the email, work out a pickup time and a drop-off time.

•        Bag the dirty laundry in garbage bags.

•        Place the bags in the admin lobby for pickup.

•        Christine will notify you when the laundry is clean and ready to return.

•        Pay Christine when she brings the laundry back — typically by credit card, or petty cash if needed.
