Clean Giving: Free Laundry Day in East Boston on November 18th

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Lapels Laundromat in East Boston is giving back to the community with a special event called Clean Giving: Free Laundry Day on Wednesday, November 18th, from 9am–5pm.
The event will take place at 220 Border Street and will offer free washing and drying for community members throughout the day. Refreshments, activities, and raffle prizes will also be available, including televisions, children’s bicycles, and other giveaways.
Calling All East Boston Businesses!
Organizers are looking for local businesses to come together and help make this event a success. Whether it’s donating a raffle prize, becoming a sponsor, or volunteering your time, it’s a great opportunity to give back to neighbors during the Thanksgiving season.
The hope is to make Clean Giving an annual East Boston Thanksgiving tradition that brings local businesses and residents together to support the community.
Interested in getting involved? Local businesses are encouraged to contact the event organizers at Lapels Laundromat to learn more about sponsorships, raffle donations, and volunteer opportunities. You can email [email protected] for more information.
Let’s come together, Eastie, and make this a new neighborhood tradition.
