We have had to reach out to Stefani at Loads Of Dignity a couple times over the last few years due to unfortunate life circumstances. She has never been anything short of welcoming, helpful and understanding. Being able to know that we have a day every week to take our clothes/bedding to wash has been one of the biggest saving grace we could possibly as for as a large family with no way to do laundry. Stefani has also provided us with essentials like shampoo, body wash, tooth brushes and toothpaste when we needed them most and didn't have the means to purchase them ourselves. She has gone above and beyond to make some of the hardest periods of our life just a little more manageable and we are forever grateful for her efforts through this nonprofit.The world is a better place for her being in it, and so are we. I can't even venture to think of where we would be without her and Loads Of Dignity.
Stefanie and crew are a true godsend! The ability to have clean clothes and bedding is beyond amazing. Buy that's not enough for this underappreciated group of amazing humans! They go out of their way to help many of us in the community that don't have the ability to keep everything clean and bring more to the table to help. Hygiene bags, socks, etc! Love these people!!!!!
Access to clean clothes and bedding is something that most of us take for granted. Until I heard of Loads of Dignity, I never even thought about the dilemma of low-income and families who might be homless, living in cars, trailers just don't have the funds to do laundry regularly, I hadn't considered how demoralizing it can be for a child to go to school in dirty close or how difficult it is to get and maintain a job when you are living out of your car. Loads of Dignity helps provide this and much including emotional support. as well as suggestions for other resources. I have seen which seems so simple can give some self-confidenc, which can affect and improve multiple aspects of their lIives. i am very proud to say that I believe so much in this Non-profit that I have recently joined the Board of the Directors. I look forward to the opportunity to serve with the community with and for a great group of people.
Great asset to have in our community there is a lot of need here due to slow wage growth so every little bit helps out.
Loads of Dignity has helped us so much! We lost our home and was forced to live in a fifth wheel. This has taken a toll on my family greatly. The cost to wash laundry is outrageous anymore. We are on a very tight budget even though my husband and I both work. I was hesitant to contact Loads of Dignity but when your children will be going to school in dirty clothes you shallow your pride. Stefani was so kind when I called. I think she could tell it was hard for me to call. She made me feel comfortable and not at all judged. When I came in she was really kind and gave all of us a welcomed gift of hygiene bags. The kids got special bags which they were thrilled with. I urge anyone that needs a hand up to contact her. Restoring Dignity to those she doesn't even know means the world to her when she sees our stress levels go down. Thank you for everything you do!

Laundry love is a wonderful asset to our Community, there is so much need here in the bitterroot.
Life is so hard for so many families these days. Laundry love helps with the need of clean clothes and also helps direct people to other services that they might be able to utilize. Such love goes out to those who are helped through this organization. It is truly a blessing!! Thanks for being there for so many families.
Loads of Dignity is an awesome Blessing to our community it gives to those in need of a step up and not a hand out.. the founder of Loads of Dignity is so caring and helps in many ways with information to help guide others in need. It is a true Blessing to our community.
I have been participating in this program for almost a year, they love my son and are always willing to help with more then just laundry.
I have been using loads of dignity for 3 months now I love the atmosphere. The people are great they don't look down on you cause you can't afford to do your laundry they help as much as they can. You feel like family with everyone that comes him. Love the staff. Can't say enough on how much I appreciate them thank you for much for doing what you do.
I have been involved as a board member with loads of dignity for over 4 years. It has opened my eyes to the need in our community and what clean clothes can do for a child going to school, a parent interviewing for a new job, clean blankets for babies and support for all of the clients who use this non profit. Stefani has a heart to help and takes time for all the people who use this service. The need grows every year and Stefani works endless hours writing grant request to continue her mission to give families their dignity, one load at a time.

This is such an amazing nonprofit organization. Not only do they supply money for those in need of clean clothes and bedding at the local laundry mat, they also supply hygiene bags for their clients no matter the age. With the way the housing crisis is, here, in the Bitterroot Valley, in Hamilton Montana, the need for laundry services has been greater than donations received. There is nothing but love and dignity ever felt and displayed to anyone in need and I hope this non profit will be here for a very long time.

Thank you for all the time you spend volunteering every month. Your compassion and dedication to restoring dignity to all of the guests are to be admired!
Lod helps not only with clean clothes , but friendly service, an selfesteem . Don't know how many loads I've washed in a bathtub. Now in my early fifties an disabled, I don't know where id be without loads of dignity. Thanks u so much Stefani. Sincerely Zusesmom
When I found myself disabled and a single mom of 2 laundry at times was too expensive. It was heartbreaking not being able to afford this but then I heard about this program and easily connected and I have not had to choose between doing laundry or eating again. Thank you to the director of this program you not only help us in times of need you are our friend in these trying times. The staff at fast and fluffy are also amazing! Thanks to all involved!
Thank you to Loads of Dignity, and Ms. Stephanie. You guys are so amazingly awesome and helpful. Thanks To you guys I always have clean clothes, and have an adequate supply of personal hygiene supplies.
Stefani is absolutly amazing! Loads of dignity has helped me and my family when we need it and is great at answering any questions and helping find resources if needed ♡
I have been advising and donating to this wonderful nonprofit for the last two years. I had experience in starting and running NP's so i contacted her through Facebook. I discovered a new friend, compadre in the fight to help those without and a woman with a mission that does not stop. Stephani's drive to help is not only admirable, it is unstoppable. While I give hew my two cents worth, she has already contacted many I tell her about and continues to find grants and funding that I am weekly amazed at. She has her mission and will continue!
Stefani has been such a blessing to me and so many others! The stamina she has to keep pressing on is amazing. I believe it’s the love inside of her and her heartfelt desire to help others that makes it a priority in her. Wow!
Father, please bless Stefani in big ways and even itty bitty ways. We all are so grateful for her! Amen!
This program is so amazing!
Stefani is such a kind,wonderful woman!
It's very touching the amount of people in the bitterroot Valley she has impacted with Loads of Dignity.
Thank you Stefani for everything you do for the community
Stephanie has helped our family tremendously! Our water pipe broke over the winter. Something in the repair made our washing machine unable to work. We live on a tight budget and doing laundry ended up being something that would get behind. Loads of Dignity has allowed us to keep up with our clean clothes and our bedding is clean and comfortable. On top of being an amazing person that helps her community, Stephanie gives families hygiene bags full of goodies that would otherwise be unobtainable to many in our current economy. It feels so good to be able to keep our big family's laundry clean! Thank you Loads of Dignity (Stephanie)!
I LIVE ON S.S.D. here in Hamilton MT. I am Thankful for loads of Dignity, and everything they do..it's awesome feeling to know that no matter what you have clean clothes everywhere. One less than to worry about and helps take some stress and worry away..plus they go beyond winter the help with socks hats and toothbrush and toothpaste these extra help out when living on a tight budget with food prices so high loads of Dignity is a real Blessing to me.
I am a single mom and when my son was unemployed money was extra tight.i found loads of dignity thru a friend who is being blessed by them.the help they provide helps many who are homeless or who need alittle help to make their life alittle easier. Stephanie is very caring and willing to help anyone in anyway that she can.i have been helped very much and am very grateful there is a program like this in the bitterroot valley.
Thank you for being there for the human beings who would otherwise not have clean clothes. You are truly making a difference and making people feel better about themselves. If I won a million dollars, I would donate to you. Having clean clothes is not just comfort, it is dignity, it is self esteem, it is being able to go out into the world and feel in tact.
Thank you for being there for my family and community.
LOD is a life changing service for members of our community! They go above and beyond to be flexible for those in need and are always ready with a helping hand. They even took time to respond while in the hospital I literally cannot say enough positive things about LOD, thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do❤️
This laundry mat is one of thee best I have ever been to. I love having clean clothes and the people and atmosphere are amazing.
My mom goes every Sunday to make sure we have clean clothes for the week. I’m really happy we have clean clothes! I love the socks I got from the program too. My mom works really hard. I’m happy this program makes her life easier.
The way loads of dignity brings a smile to people face is absolutely amazing. Nothing better than being able to tell your kids they have clean clothes so they can feel like new people.

britncole 06/23/2022
Couldn't have said it better. For parents to feel like they are doing all they can to make sure their children have dignity, food, and clean clothes are of utmost importance for many.
When I first heard of LoD over a year ago, I was blown away by the whole idea and started donating on a regular basis. It had never occurred to me that people sometimes need help with their laundry to feel human and capable. And Stefani is amazing -- organized, generous, sensible -- all the best things.

britncole 06/23/2022
What a great compliment! Thank you so much for your support of our mission!
This is an outstanding contribution to our community! They have touch many lives with their unselfish giving! Thank you for all you do for those need.

Thank you for the kind review and your support!
This is a very important non profit in our community. There are so many people who need this service lately. I do not know what they would do if it wasn't here. Thank you for taking care of our community!

britncole 06/23/2022
Thank you for supporting your homeless/low-income neighbors and for spreading the word about our mission to restore dignity!
LOD has helped me so much! Increasing prices on nearly everything has made it difficult to choose what expenses are absolutely necessary. Thanks to LOD I do not have to choose laundry over medical expenses. This single mom of 3 thanks you!!

britncole 06/22/2022
Thank you for the kind review! We are glad our service takes some stress off of you!
I am a board member with LOD and what a blessing this nonprofit has been to our community. So many people are being served and their dignity is being restored. With the rise of inflation this is such an important piece in helping support people with these needs. Summer is very busy and more than ever LOD is grateful for all the donations to be able to offer this service to those in need. Thank you for caring!!

britncole 06/22/2022
LOD is blessed to have such a caring board member that takes steps to ensure our mission to "Restore Dignity One Load at a Time" is part of what we do every day!
Loads of dignity is a wonderful non profit. What Stephanie does for people is beyond compassionate and amazing. I live in the first place I ever have that doesn't have a washer and dryer and with how tight money is getting laundry done can be quite hard and exhausting. But Stephanie has been there for me since the first day I ever reached out to her. Because of her I get to look and feel presentable, clean, and most importantly I get to sleep in clean bedding and have clean towels so I can continue and have good personal hygiene. On top of helping people with their laundry she also has sent me home with goodie bags filled with deodorant to toothpaste to toiletries and more and she has been a life savior to me and my family since day one. And I appreciate her more than she could ever no. She helps take the weight off my shoulder which sometime feels suffocating. And to top it off you never have to feel embarrassed or ashamed they allow you to have privacy and dignity while being able to accept very much needed help.

britncole 06/12/2022
Thank you for the kind words and great description of the service! You are very easy to work with and we have good communication to make your appointments go smoothly.
Hi I'm a mother of 5 kids s wife to a great husband and 3 fur baby's i love this program and all the people in volved I wish I had known about it sooner
Thank you I love loads of dignity

It is always nice to know you are coming to make sure all of your family will have clean clothes. It is quite the commitment to stay at the laundromat the amount you do for your families dignity.
Imagine yourself homeless. When everything you own is filthy and you have no way to wash your clothes or even yourself for that matter. You start feeling hopeless and disparity sets in. The simple act of taking a shower and putting on clean clothes is a feeling that’s hard to put into words. These two little “luxuries” in life are the only things that make being homeless tolerable. Loads Of Dignity get this! They are respectful, friendly, and helpful. Because of the wonderful gift they give, I’ve recovered a little of my own dignity.

britncole 06/02/2022
Wow! Thank you for painting the picture of what the loss of dignity while being homeless. We are happy our services are in place to offer you an opportunity to regain some Dignity. It has been a blessing to have gotten to know you!
Amazing thing we have here in the valley. I’m a single parent who needs to do laundry and this helps me and my kid out a ton!! I can’t afford to do laundry but thanks to laundry of love I can do it.

britncole 06/02/2022
We are glad our services help you and are able to take some pressure off you to allocate your funds elsewhere.
I've been following Laundry Love since they began almost three years ago. While I personally have not used this service, I have spoken with a few who have. All have said pretty much the same thing; that they were grateful to be able to wash a little bit of laundry and have clean clothes, that there was no judgement of them or their circumstances and that there were resources available to help them through this difficult time. Those are huge things when your homeless, I know I've been there. Laundry love has inspired me to try and emulate what they have done in Hamilton in my town. I am hoping to convince a local laundromat tomorrow morning to allow me to help the hundreds of homeless people in my area. Clean clothing is difficult to make happen when you're on a fixed budget or low income. It's impossible when you're homeless with few options available to wash and dry your clothing. Kudos to Laundry Love ❤ for bringing such a vital and needed service to the Bitterroot Valley!!!
Laundry Love is this wonderful help for any one who is looking for free laundry. This has helped amazing number of people friends of mine, family, & people in the community, with clean clothes.
THANK YOU LAUNDRY LOVE!

Years ago when Stefani came to me with this idea. I thought it might work. Well glory be it has gone over the top. To see the pleasure and de lite on peoples faces when they get to pull those warm clean clothes from the dryer. I can not describe the feeling of pride that I have in this service. You are never ask personal information. Stefani spends countless hours taking money to the laundry mat, writing grants and trying to help people in a way that most of us take for granted. People love the socks that come with the service. Anyone who is in need, give a call and we are here to restore some dignity one load at a time. God Bless and thank you Laundry Love for allowing me to be a small part of a great program.
This is a non-profit that truly cares about every single guest that it assists. Everyone is welcome no matter their background, beliefs or otherwise. If you want to feel welcome and cared for while you wash your clothes, you’ve come to the right place.
I haven't actually used Laundry Love Hamilton, but I was blown away when I heard about them at the beginning of this year and have supported tham as best I can. So many of us take for granted clean clothes, a handy washer and dryer, a hot shower whenever, and so on. I hope we can wake up and help those whose lives are filled with uncertainty and discomfort. Thank you, Laundry Love Hamilton!
When I heard about the great work that Launry Love does, I had to contact them to see if I could help. I've been promoting them and donating blankets and supplies when I can.
This is very beneficial to our valley! I have personally seen what it has done for others. The smiles, hugs and thank yous melt your heart. My son and I volunteered when it first started all the way thru to the pandemic. I have held some as they cried sad tears and happy tears. We have made many new friends that when out n anout we always wave and talk to one another. It's amazing at how many people really need this service in our little valley, I hope that people will see this and help donate. If you ever have a chance maybe volunteer if it can be done in close proximity again. I promise you wont regret it. It's also a great learning lesson to kids.
Laundry love serves so many families in need! What a blessing it has been to our community, especially during this time of covid! I’ve been given the opportunity to help at events and it is amazing to see the smiles on faces! Families are so grateful. All the hard work that has to be done to keep Laundry Love afloat is so worth it! The founder is amazing and has a heart of gold! I feel so fortunate to be apart something so incredible in our community.❤️
