We are Laundry Love PEOPLE

Comments// Posted in News/Events by Ryan Myers on 07.20.09.

We recently underwent a crucial name change. Our old name: “Laundry Love Project” has been replaced with “Laundry Love People” to emphasize the human/relational element of LLP.

People are NOT projects.

LLP has been and will always be about People: those serving and those being served. This change allows us to cease communicating that “We do Laundry Love Projects”, and begin saying “We ARE Laundry Love People”. Whereas the “we” in the first statement is one sided and exclusive to those providing LLP services, the second statement offers more. It is less concerned with who gives and who receives; the “we” in the second statement is an inclusive collective “we”, where the lines typically drawn between server and the one being served are blurred. Everyone gives and everyone receives.

LLP has always thrived due to its collaboration among diverse people. Rather than focus on our “program” or “project”, our gaze is always set on connecting with people. This name change moves us past the objectification of people as projects or causes, and allows us to see people for what they truly are: People. Beautiful people just like you and I.
