Laundry Support at Harriet Tubman Women's Shelter

Harriet Tubman Women's Shelter urgently needs volunteers to help with daily laundry to ensure clean sheets are available for our guests each night and assist guests with washing their personal laundry. Your support makes a direct impact on the comfort and dignity of those we serve.

Preferred volunteer hours are 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM, but if those don’t work for you, we welcome you to come at a time that fits your schedule—anytime between 8:30 AM and 10:00 PM. Please email Keshia.Adams@CC-DC.org if you are coming outside of the preferred hours. 

Feel free to bring a book or something to do between loads or spend time greeting the guests!
