In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Social Spin Foundation launched the #FUCOVID program, a beacon of support for homebound individuals with disabilities. From June 14, 2023, to May 29, 2024, this initiative offers a lifeline to those who find daily chores like laundry not just a task, but a challenge.
Free Laundry Services: A Fresh Start
With the support of the Maricopa County Health Department, Social Spin Laundry has been providing free laundry services, including door-to-door pickup and delivery, to those in need. This service goes beyond clean clothes; it's about restoring dignity, independence, and a sense of normalcy to the lives of those impacted by disabilities and the pandemic.

Stories of Impact: Elizabeth and Gregory
Elizabeth's Transformation:
Living with COPD and AFIB, Elizabeth found daily chores like laundry daunting. The lack of accessible laundry facilities compounded her struggles, with broken machines and a challenging trip to the laundromat involving buses and dial-a-ride services. The situation was dire; either her caregiver would shoulder the burden, or Elizabeth would endure the ordeal, navigating to a fifth-floor laundry room without air conditioning, bearing the scorching summer heat. The introduction of Social Spin was transformative. The convenience of door-to-door service alleviated the physical and logistical burdens, bringing not just clean laundry but a breath of relief into Elizabeth's life. Social Spin's intervention was more than a service; it was a lifeline.
Gregory's Newfound Independence:
Constrained by mobility challenges, Gregory found himself confined to his home, rendering simple tasks like laundry insurmountable. The introduction of Social Spin into his life marked a significant turning point. With the convenience of leaving his laundry by the door for pickup, Gregory no longer had to rely on sporadic help from others. He expressed profound gratitude for the weekly clean clothes, a seemingly small convenience that made a monumental difference in his life.
Beyond Laundry: Spreading Awareness and Knowledge
Social Spin is committed to increasing knowledge and awareness of topics that support COVID recovery and the post-emergency phase of the pandemic, providing customers with valuable information alongside the laundry services.
