Project snapshot
Brooklyn Laundry Room, a Black-owned business serving the Mill Basin community, prioritizes offering affordable coin laundry services to its customers. With the grant, they aim to implement a pick-up and delivery service to cater to homebound customers, focusing on hiring a driver, developing an online scheduling system, and advertising the new service. Additionally, the business actively engages with the community, employing mostly minority women from the area, partnering with local organizations to distribute essentials, and remaining open during the pandemic to provide laundry services to essential workers at a discounted rate.
