Two Tide Loads of Hope Mobile Laundry Units have been deployed to support relief and recovery efforts in the wake of the devastating flooding in Nebraska. The Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry vehicles will begin services in Fremont and Bellevue on Saturday, March 23, providing free full-service laundry services to residents affected by the recent flooding. Residents can bring clothes (up to two loads per household) to be washed, dried and folded free of charge for those directly impacted by the flooding. All washable clothing types can be accepted with the exception of heavy bedding. |

WHY: |
The flooding in the Midwest has destroyed an extraordinary amount of homes and businesses. The area has seen devastating effects of the flooding, with three lives lost to-date and more than 2,000 homes and businesses destroyed. |

These services are free and available to people affected by the disaster and the volunteers who are helping to respond. | ||

Starting on Saturday, March 23, the team will collect laundry from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM CT in Fremont and Bellevue or until a collective 300 loads are reached (two loads per household). The team will also be distributing personal care and cleaning kits directly out into the affected areas. |
