Current's Ohio chapter is set to host a Laundry Love Project on Saturday, Sept.15, in Canton. Volunteers will provide assistance by spending time washing and drying the clothes and linens of deserving community members. The project will be held between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Professional Coin Laundry located at 1816 9th St. SW Canton, OH 44706.This is the fifth Laundry Love Project held this summer in Canton. "Laundry Love Projects are designed to be a simple act of kindness," said Corey Easterday, Director of Current's Ohio branch. "We are grateful for the opportunity to provide this necessity to residents and invite all those interested in volunteering to join us. During our summer project last month we were able to assist more than 35 families in washing 350 loads of clothing."
