There's a laundromat in my town, and once a month a local church (the First Brotheren Church, I think) provides free laundry service for anyone who wants it. They provide the soap and the quarters and then while your laundry is getting washed they provide food to eat. It's a really great community outreach service.

That's a church I could get behind.

Unfortunately, most good deeds go unnoticed. I hope they're advertising well to the kind of people who could really use a service like that.

Helped with a pantry service for a church, so often a week would go by that no one would show up. Infuriating. Food had to be thrown out.

Its advertised a few places around town. There's only about 1,200 people in my town, and they've been providing the service for a while, so I'm petty sure everyone in town knows about it.
Denver has a portable laundry truck with three washers and driers. It runs off of fire hydrants. It goes to homeless camps, providing a needed free service. Some private charity funds it.
That's awesome!
