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.
