February 2026 marked the start of Kilmarnock United Methodist Church’s Laundry Day Ministry.
Church members go to Speed Wash, 110 Irvington Road, Kilmarnock, three days each month to greet, talk with customers, help bring their laundry into the facility and pay for all laundry costs during the nine hours each month that they are present, reported Whitney Lang.
Thanks to the generous contributions of church members and later due to the receipt of a grant, the ministry has expanded from once each month to three times a month, impacting more than 231 people during the first year, said Lang.
The ministry has grown to include water and snacks, individual packets of detergent and coloring books and crayons for children who accompany their parents.
To support this mission, call 804-435-1797.
