LaundryCares Foundation Wins Library of Congress Award

Eastern Funding would like to congratulate the entire LaundryCares Foundation team for winning the prestigious Library of Congress Literacy Award and a $150,000 prize! This recognition serves as a testament to their continuous efforts to enhance literacy in underserved communities, where they offer free laundry services and establish inviting environments that encourage reading and education for families. This foundation transforms laundromats into secure environments for reading and education. They effectively serve families that might otherwise face challenges in accessing educational materials. LaundryCares free laundry events and literacy initiatives have significantly influenced communities, offering not only freshly laundered clothing, but also the chance for both children and adults to participate in literacy-related activities during their wait.

Eastern Funding Co-founder, Brian Grell is the President of LaundryCares Foundation and plays a huge role with the continued success of the organization. We are immensely proud of them for the outstanding job they are doing in contributing to laundromat communities across the country!
