Take me there! Social Impact Orange Sky proudly opened the doors to an exciting new venture in 2022, our first ever Social Impact Laundromat! You can’t miss the bright orange shop front located in North Adelaide, at 80 Melbourne Street. For many, ‘Orange Sky’ is synonymous with our mobile orange laundry vans. We wanted to give something new (without wheels) a crack – a paid laundromat that funds the service for friends doing it tough. The Melbourne St Laundromat has been a beloved staple of the North Adelaide community, washing for local residents and businesses for almost two decades. Orange Sky jumped in to upgrade the space and offer a new type of service – laundry with positive impact! Funds from each wash and dry, support friends experiencing homelessness and hardship. That means supporters using the laundromat are providing important funds that provide access to free clean laundry and warm showers across Australia. Our laundry van in Adelaide, Splasher, continues to support people doing it tough. Innovation is part of our DNA at Orange Sky and continues to be the driving force behind our goal to triple our impact and help 40,000 people experiencing homelessness by 2025. The Adelaide Laundromat is located on Kaurna land, wrapped between the incredible Torrens River. We pay our deepest respects to the millions of footsteps, stories and connections that have existed on these lands. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners that have come before us, those who are with us and those who are yet to come. “Our team wanted to explore new ways of fueling Orange Sky’s mission. We created the Adelaide Laundromat as a practical way to connect people with friends doing it tough. By entering the commercial laundromat space, we’ve given Adelaide residents and businesses a chance to use a service they love while supporting Orange Sky.” - Nic Marchesi, Co-Founder Find out more about Orange Sky's innovation activities Click Here Frequently Asked Questions Is it free or paid? “The Laundromat is a paid service that fundraises for Orange Sky operations – supporting people in our community doing it tough. Purchasing a wash at Melbourne St means your funds are going towards our free washing and genuine conversations at our shifts. We are now operating a weekly shift from Monday 2pm-4pm, where anyone in need can access free laundry and conversation with our volunteers.” How do you pay?
