City of Tampa and Current Initiatives offering free laundry for Tampa residents

In response to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the City of Tampa is stepping up to offer laundry assistance for residents impacted by the storm. On Tuesday, October 1, 2024, a “Wash Zone” will operate at 5235 South Dale Mabry Highway from 11am to 2pm.

This initiative, in partnership with local non-profit Current Initiatives, aims to support residents whose homes suffered flood damage, leaving them without a way to clean their clothes. The service is free and available to those affected by the hurricane.

For more details on future laundry assistance events and additional storm-related resources, residents are encouraged to visit tampa.gov/hurricane for updates.

The Laundry Project by Current Initiatives assists lower-income families with meeting a basic need – washing clothes and linens, by turning laundromats into community centers of hope. You can learn more about supporting their work year-round on their website.
