RESIDENTS are encouraged to nominate a community group or family in need of a dryer this winter, with selected recipients to be given a new machine through The Good Guys’ ‘Dryers for Communities’ initiative.
Whether it was a child care centre, an aged care facility, an animal shelter, a sporting club or a family, The Good Guys Narre Warren owner Matthew Sheedy invited locals to nominate fellow members of the community.
“During the colder months it is hard to wash and dry clothes and linen without a dryer, especially when you have a lot to wash, so we encourage members of our community to submit a deserving recipient to receive a brand new dryer.
“As part of our Doing Good program we support Orange Sky Laundry to provide washing and drying facilities to Australia’s homeless, so it seemed fitting at this time of year to find other groups in the community who need a dyer and continue our assistance at a local level.
“We’re always looking to support people in need and organisations that make a difference in the local community and this winter it’s by ensuring they have the equipment to provide dry, clean clothes and linen,” Mr Sheedy said.
The business will also be doubling its contributions to Orange Sky Laundry through sales of laundry products until the end of the financial year and Mr Sheedy said that his store is proud to be giving a helping hand to those less fortunate.
“Every $6 we donate to Orange Sky Laundry enables them to do another load of washing so we are aiming to fund over 800 additional loads of washing for people living without a home this winter.
“We’re proud to support Orange Sky Laundry and look forward to continuing to work with them to ensure the 105,000 Australians sleeping homeless every night have clean, dry clothes,” Mr Sheedy said.
