Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $80,260 spent. We are a nonprofit that has been offering a service to our homeless and low-income neighbors an opportunity to wash their clothing and bedding for free. We provide quarters laundry detergent and fabric softener. In addition to free washing we provide hygiene bags for adults and activity hygiene bags for children. With a housing shortage we are seeing more and more growth in the homeless population in our valley. Our mission is to Restore Dignity one load at a time. When an individual family is homeless is the time dignity is lost. With our services feelings of self-worth self-esteem and dignity can be restored. Children can go to school with clean clothing and shower and not become a target for bullying. Fewer days will be missed at school and test scores and friendships will improve.
