Mercy Care and Mercy Care Advantage are sponsoring Loads of Love, a no-cost community laundry event in Glendale this month.

During each no-cost event, which is open to Mercy Care and Mercy Care Advantage members, and the general public, participants will receive $10 laundry gift cards for complimentary use of a 20-pound or 40-pound washing machine, which also includes funds toward use of a dryer.

Guests will also be provided with complimentary detergent, bleach, and fabric softener. Machines are available on a first come, first-serve basis at each event.

“Each Loads of Love event is focused on supporting vulnerable members of our community and their families,” Cinthya Quintana, senior manager of community development for Mercy Care Advantage, shared in a statement. “It’s a benefit for our Mercy Care and Mercy Care Advantage members, and this event is open to anyone in need of assistance leading up to the holidays as well.”

The Glendale event goes from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13 at Coin Less Laundry, 6402 W. Glendale Ave.
