The Classy Closet

Some of you may know that I am in Louisiana and have been my whole life. In 2005 we were hit with a storm that would change our city forever, Hurricane Katrina. I lost things that were very important to me but more than that many families were left without necessities. What if you did not have clean water or a home? What if you needed clean clothes?

Tide Loads of Hope

Tide has stepped up and is making a change with their Tide Loads of Hope campaign. Here's more from their site:


Nearly 30,000 loads of laundry cleaned for families affected by disasters, and counting….
In times of disaster people turn to the most basic of human needs—and one of those is clean clothes. The Tide Loads of Hope program provides relief by means of a mobile laundromat. One truck and a fleet of vans house over 32 energy-efficient washers and dryers that are capable of cleaning over 300 loads of laundry every day. We wash, dry and fold the clothes for these families for free. Because, as we’ve learned, sometimes even the littlest things can make a big, big difference.
How it works:

1)Disaster Strikes-A disaster occurs making relief necessary for the families affected.
2)Help Is Sent-We send our mobile laundromat fleet to the location.
3)Laundry Provided-We spend multiple days at the disaster site washing, drying and folding clothes for the families affected.

Here's how YOU can HELP:

*Buy a Tide Vintage T-shirt and join the challenge. All profits go toward helping families affected by disaster.

*A portion of the proceeds* from every bottle of yellow cap Tide goes to help families affected by disaster. Get yours today to support the cause.

*Getting yellow cap Tide or a Tide T-shirt enables you to become a team member and join the others in showcasing your support on our member map.
