Loads of Dignity

We are a nonprofit offering a service to the homeless and low-income community in the Bitterroot Valley since 2019.

With a housing shortage, we are seeing an increasing number of homeless people in our valley.
With our services, guests can come into the laundromat to wash their clothing and bedding for free. We provide a variety of types of laundry detergent, fabric softener, quarters, hygiene bags for adults, and specially put-together children’s bags.

Our mission is to “Restore Dignity one load at a time.” By providing clean clothes and a sense of dignity, we are meeting an immediate need and fostering long-term benefits. Children can confidently attend school, leading to improved test scores and friendships. In addition, it eliminates the need for our guests to choose between clean clothes or spending their funds on rent, utilities, food, and gas to get to work.

Dignity

“Loads of Dignity is a wonderful non-profit. What Stefani does for people is beyond compassionate and amazing. I live in the first place I ever have that doesn't have a washer and dryer and with how tight money is, getting laundry done can be quite hard and exhausting. But Stefani has been there for me since the first day I ever reached out to her. Because of her, I get to look and feel presentable, and clean, and most importantly, I get to sleep in clean bedding and have clean towels so I can continue and have good personal hygiene. On top of helping people with their laundry, she also has sent me home with goodie bags filled with deodorant toothpaste, toiletries, and more and she has been a life savior to my family and me since day one. And I appreciate her more than she could ever know. She helps take the weight off my shoulder, which sometimes feels suffocating. And to top it off you never have to feel embarrassed or ashamed they allow you to have privacy and dignity while being able to accept very much needed help.” - a thankful guest
