Alliance Laundry Systems has announced the launch of Alliance Laundry Cares, the company’s new charitable giving initiative. Through Alliance Laundry Cares, the company will address the basic need for cleanliness, comfort and dignity for those most vulnerable in the global communities where its team members live and work.
“Most of us give little thought to clean clothes,” explained Amanda Kopetsky, vice president, global human resources for Alliance. “We wake up, grab fresh clothing and go about our day. It is a routine that can easily be taken for granted. There are people right now in our communities who don’t have that same access, and we want to help fill that need and provide the dignity that comes with it.
“At Alliance Laundry Systems, we make the best laundry equipment in the world, and with our equipment and expertise, we’re uniquely positioned to support the organizations that help people with this necessity when they need it most.”
Alliance Laundry Systems has a long history of charitable giving, going back to the company’s founding in 1908. Alliance Laundry Cares will take this giving to a new level. With donations of laundry equipment, expertise and financial support, this initiative will focus primarily on four key areas of need: domestic abuse shelters, homeless shelters, animal rescue and shelters, and schools and education.
For its first donation, Alliance Laundry Cares has partnered with Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services in Oshkosh, Wis. Christine Ann provides domestic violence emergency shelter and abuse programs in Winnebago and Green Lake Counties. Alliance gifted the shelter with four sets of washers and dryers, including delivery and installation, for the shelter clients and staff.
“The families and individuals we serve often need to quickly leave their homes with few possessions,” said Beth Oswald, executive director of Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services. “We supply bedding, towels and clothing, and that means a lot of laundry. Having these brand new washers and dryers means so much to our facility. Clean laundry helps our clients feel comfortable and cared for during their stay with us.”
