    Health Cycle Mobile Laundry Program is a new initiative expanding our outreach efforts by providing free, on-the-go laundry services to homeless individuals. Clean clothes help prevent skin infections like impetigo, scabies, and fungal infections, while also reducing the risk of respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses caused by lingering bacteria. Since hygiene is holistic, this program ensures individuals can maintain cleanliness without recontamination, promoting health, dignity, and overall well-being.
