WHO:
Families, individuals and responders in need of laundry services in

Residents can bring clothes (up to two loads per household) to be

the disaster and the volunteers who are helping to respond.
Hurricane Irma first made landfall in the Florida Keys September
10th as a category 4 hurricane causing devastation to the homes and
businesses in its path. The storm measured more than 400 miles (640
kilometers) wide with winds up to 130 mph. Hurricane Irma caused a
storm surge of 10 feet in the Florida Keys and 7 feet in Naples,
forcing many to evacuate.

from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM ET at the Home Depot below or until 100 loads
