Sewing Room in the Social Laundry. Would you like to volunteer to sew?

Would you like to spend a few hours each week in our sewing room?

Right now we are in need of laundry bags used for laundry from for instance homeless hostels. We sew large fabric bags with a drawstring at the top and the logo of the laundry stitched on; we sew tote bags as well as lots of other things for sale at the laundry.

The Social Laundry is a social economic enterprise under the Kirkens Korshær. The profits from the Social Laundry go to the work of the Kirkens Korshær with socially disadvantaged people. Your work as a volunteer here is therefore meaningful in many ways.

The Social Laundry wash for organizations such as churches, care homes, homeless shelters and hostels, and private enterprises and it is also a regular coin-operated laundry open to private customers who come in to wash their clothes in the machines themselves. Last but not least the laundry is a safe environment for citizens who are in various stages of rehabilitation – for instance as an internship in connection with getting back into the labour market.

We have a nice atmosphere in the laundry with the opportunity of participating in social events if you want.

We look forward to meeting you 😊
