![]() ![]() Busy Bee’s laundromat has donated $300 in laundry cards to the cause. Local laundromats Razzle Dazzle and Busy Bee’s recently reopened after not having power for days, and buying vouchers to use their facilities could help them make up for days of lost profit in addition to helping residents without power, Quinn said. Instead, “they were displaced for a period of time and brought back and probably had to restock their shelves and do their laundry.” “We didn’t think people in Asbury Park lost their stuff,” she said. The group opted for a laundry card drive instead of a clothing drive because they figured people in Asbury Park did not lose their clothing in the storm. “Asbury Park also has a lot of public housing, and a lot of public housing residents do laundry in laundromats.” “People in shelters don’t have access to laundry machines,” Quinn said in a phone interview today. A local group has started an initiative to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy normalize their lives through the purchase of laundry cards.Īmy Quinn, Heather Jensen, Jill Potter, Seven Froias, Richard Virgilio, Jeffrey Seeds and Joe Woerner are spearheading the movement to donate laundry cards to Asbury Park residents who are still without power and are starting to see their laundry pile up. ![]()
