My Project

We need a new washing machine to be able to wash our aprons, hats, towels, and washcloths daily.

We have a junior culinary school at our high school and we need a new washing machine to keep our culinary cloths and linens clean.

We cook an average of three to four times a week with over 100 students.

Our junior culinary school goes through a lot of laundry every day and our current washer is struggling to keep up. We need a large-capacity washing machine to clean our items quickly and safely. Our students are learning responsibility and taking ownership by helping with laundry and the folding it to prepare for the next day's cooking labs. Please help me help my students learn how to run a kitchen and keep it clean!
