“This was a program that she championed while she was still alive,” Moore said. “She was a single parent raising her children and having access to laundry was a real barrier for her.”

Now, Moore and others with Mothers of Hope are making sure that no one runs into that barrier, she said.

They officially dubbed the event ‘The Shequita Lewis Laundry Assistance Project,’ Moore said. Right now, they’re rebooting and so they can distribute even more laundry detergent in the future.

“We’re pursuing more funds," Moore said. “So we’re definitely looking for people to donate to Mothers of Hope, which is a non-profit and your donations are tax deductible."
