Children arrive in the Residential Program at St. Vincent Family Center on Columbus’ near east side at all hours of the day, on any given day of the week, often with nothing more than what few items they own and no place to call home.
The center is currently in desperate need of two commercial-grade washers and dryers to meet the continuous, everyday needs of the children it serves. With a maximum of 35 residents at one time, the laundry quickly piles up. In addition, the center frequently experiences above average laundry needs due to often uncontrollable results of trauma and abuse these children have faced.
Give now, and let’s be Better Together!
