As temperatures drop, heating bills rise — and for some local families, even the laundromat becomes harder to afford.

🧺 Help us keep Free Laundry Day going this November and December! We’re collecting quarters and dollar donations at the Fayette County Senior Citizen Center.

A handful of quarters may not feel like much, but together they keep washers turning and help neighbors stretch their budgets a little further this winter. ❤️
