Laundry Love is a ministry of showing love by providing the means (quarters and soap) to our neighbors who wash clothes at a local laundromate. It was inspired by the relationships built between a companion from Beloved Community and neighbors who come to One Big Tent. This ministry began with Beloved Community volunteers and support and has since grown to include St. Paul's United Methodist Church, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Trinity Lutheran Church.  It is also supported by One Big Tent.  We continue to welcome volunteers and donations as we meet up at a laundromat on Wednesday mornings and Thursdays evenings to meet and serve our neighbors.

Our Thrift Sale Ministry is all about providing funds to help our neighbors via One Big Tent. Currently, twice a year we host a two-day Thrift Sale with all the proceeds going to One Big Tent. We are hoping to open a more "permanent" location for our neighbors to shop and to be an income stream for One Big Tent.

Come to our upcoming Thrift Sale on May 31 and June 1st.

Call the office if you would like to volunteer in this important ministry!
