WHO:
Families, individuals and first responders in need of personal care
items, cleaning products or laundry services in the wake of the
recent historic flooding in West Virginia.
WHAT:
Beginning Saturday, July 2nd, the Tide
Loads of Hope mobile laundry unit will be collecting up to 100
loads of laundry per day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., providing free
full-service laundry to residents in White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia affected by the recent flooding (2 loads per household).
Residents can bring clothes to the mobile unit to be washed, dried
and folded free of charge for those in the directly affected areas.
All washable clothing types can be accepted with the exception of
heavy bedding. In addition, P&G will be providing personal care
kits containing items such as Secret deodorant, Crest toothpaste
and Pantene shampoo as well as household cleaning products like
Bounty, Mr. Clean and Swiffer.
WHY:
Heavy rain led to widespread flooding which has devastated areas of
West Virginia resulting in the governor declaring a state of
emergency in 44 countries. Many residents have been forced from
their homes, leaving them without basic needs and resources.
P&G has a history of giving back to the communities where we
live and work, and we wanted to provide some everyday essentials to
those who need it most. These services are free and available to
people affected by the disaster and the volunteers that are helping
to respond.
WHERE:
Tide Loads of Hope and the P&G product distribution program
will be located at: 1 Alvon Rd Battleground Crossing
Shopping Center White Sulphur Springs, WV 24986

deployed and set-up in multiple communities impacted by disasters.
Outfitted with 12 new high-efficiency Whirlpool Duet washers and

laundry per day, enabling Tide to help hundreds of families during
each disaster relief visit.
