Our Mission

Empowering Individuals And Uplifting Communities—One Person, One Load Of Laundry, And One Neighborhood At A Time.

At The Laundry Truck LA, we proudly stand as one of the first mobile laundry services in the world dedicated to serving individuals experiencing homelessness and our neighbors in need. We believe that providing laundry services is a crucial first step toward restoring dignity, enhancing mental health, and improving hygiene for our local unhoused community.

Since 2019, we have completed over 690,000 lbs of laundry, striving to uplift day-to-day livelihoods, create employment opportunities, and support school attendance. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those we serve, fostering hope and renewal in our community.

Our Story

In 2017, Founder Jodie Dolan recognized the urgent need for clean clothing while volunteering with mobile showers. Guests often stepped out of a warm shower only to return to dirty clothes, highlighting a critical service gap. This experience led to the creation of The Laundry Truck LA, a mobile laundry service restoring dignity through clean clothing.

Since 2019, Laundry Truck LA has washed over 690,000 lbs of laundry and now operates three trucks, serving families and children across Los Angeles, including at a Skid Row elementary school where 40 percent of students are unhoused. For the more than 10,000 homeless children in the area, clean clothes are vital for school attendance, confidence, and long-term success.
