LifePath Laundry Services

Back to Vocational Services

The LifePath Laundry offers full-time employment for adults with developmental disabilities, while providing quality laundry services to local businesses and community organizations. During the initial 30-day trial period, employees learn everything about the business from how to treat stains to proper machine settings and formulas that differentiate towels from mattress pads. They also learn work ethics, the value of being on time, respect for coworkers, and how critical teamwork is to this task. They are evaluated every six months and earn pay raises and advancement for efficiency.

The Laundry staff had to be cut in half due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and like so many others, we’re trying to maintain business through this work-force shortage. Employees miss the coworkers who had to remain at home, and we’re sure they miss the comaraderie and social benefits this job provides. We’re anxious for them to come back.
