It was our great pleasure to donate a Whirlpool washer and dryer to help students at Fremont Elementary in Delano. You might be wondering what laundry has to do with elementary school...
Statistics show that 1 in 5 students struggle with access to clean clothes for school, and this leads to attendance problems. These problems trickle down into higher dropout and unemployment rates.
Schools that have provided laundry service to their students through the Whirlpool Cares program have seen a dramatic increase in attendance and class participation from at risk students.
Thanks, BakersfieldNow for the story. We have pictures and video to share as well so watch for those!
