Laundry Luv Partners With Somebody's Rusty to Help the San Angelo Homeless Community

Part of Laundry Luv’s mission is to do more than just laundry—we create community. Through local partnerships, events, and outreach efforts, Laundry Luv serves as a place where support and community come together. 

On April 29th, 2025, Laundry Luv partnered with Somebody’s Rusty for their Laundry Love event that helps the homeless community of San Angelo, TX. From 6pm-7:30pm, Somebody’s Rusty and 25-30 volunteers handed out free meals, toiletries, blankets, and new clothes while also providing free haircuts to anyone who wanted one. The 19th Street Laundry Luv provided space for the event while also providing free laundry service to those who wished to use it. 

During the Laundry Love event, Somebody’s Rusty, Laundry Luv, and volunteers were able to help and serve between 50 to 75 attendees. Laundry Luv ended up washing 42 loads of laundry and drying 37 loads for people in attendance. 

Philip Cross, the manager of the 19th Street Laundry Luv location, says he loved the event and is excited about the prospect of partnering with Somebody’s Rusty again soon, “Everyone was very appreciative and positive; I didn’t hear one single negative comment the entire evening. It was really neat to see a couple of people when they left being so happy and proud because of their haircut, etc. It was really worthwhile.” 

Philip is also grateful for the experience of working with Somebody’s Rusty and the amazing work that they do, “The Somebody’s Rusty organization was very organized and had a great handle on how to do things, it went seamless.” The volunteers also helped clean and pick everything up when the event was over, and ensured that everything looked as good as it did when they arrived earlier in the day. 

Laundry Luv is a proud supporter of the San Angelo community, and we are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of an event that’s so special. Laundry Luv believes in making a real difference in people’s lives, and every location is designed to create a welcoming space that does just that—through community events, local partnerships, and a family-friendly environment.
