Orange Sky Laundry - Jenny Massey

Jenny will speak about the service Orange Sky Laundry provides to the homeless on the Gold Coast and how it is expanding throughout the nation.

Orange Sky Laundry is the world's first free mobile laundry service for the homeless.  The idea came about in 2014 to put two washing machines and two dryers in a van and wash and dry clothes for free.  Starting in the streets of Brisbane, Orange Sky has now grown to 10 services across Australia in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney, Sunshine Coast, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, South East Melbourne and Hobart.

Orange Sky Laundry now does over 6.9 tonnes of laundry every week.  However most importantly, has over 1,300 hours of positive and genuine conversations each week.

A remarkably simple idea providing dignity and friendship to our homeless
