Sock Monster Gives Back

2023: 

• LaundryLove: We have had the distinguished honor of being selected to partner with LaundryLove in their mission to provide clean laundry to the homeless and those in need for FREE. Often we think of the necessities of life as being food, water and shelter. But what about clean clothing? For so many folks in South Florida, clean laundry is a luxury they can't afford. Sock Monster Laundromart in Pompano Beach has partnered with Laundry Love as a ministry of St. Mary Magdalene & St. Martin Episcopal Church, Coral Springs, FL. To provide FREE LAUNDRY to the homeless and those in need. Thanks to our friends at JET PIZZA those who participate in the event participants will leave with clean laundry and a full tummy.
  Laundry love at Sock Monster Laundromart takes place the third Wednesday of every month from 4-6  

  Donations of detergent, new socks, clothing, sneakers, personal care items are always accepted.
