Local Dry Cleaner Includes an Extra Special Step for Local Costs for Adults/Kids Drive

The staff at Wayzata Home Laundry & Dry Cleaners do more than take in coats for adults and children for the Holy Rosary Coat Drive. They professionally clean them, too.

(firmenpresse) - Each year, Wayzata Home Laundry & Dry Cleaners acts as a collection point for the Holy Rosary Coat Drive with the [St. Bartholomew Catholic Faith Community](http://www.st-barts.org/) and their sister parish, [Holy Rosary](https://holyrosaryop.org/) in South Minneapolis.

Anyone whos spent time in the Twin Cities during the winter knows the absolute necessity of a warm coat. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford one. According to the [National Center for Children in Poverty](http://www.nccp.org/topics/childpoverty.html), about 15 million children in the United States live in families with incomes below the federal poverty threshold. Thats about one out of every five children.

These are troubling statistics, says Wayzata Home Laundry & Dry Cleaning owner Kevin Dynan, but theres something we can do about it. Its why the family-owned business volunteers as a collection point for the annual Coats for Adults/Kids program sponsored by the St. Bartholomew Catholic Faith Community, and Holy Rosary in South Minneapolis.

Dynan and his staff do more than just take in the coats they receive from residents in the Wayzata area. We dry clean or wet clean each and every one of them before theyre delivered, says Dynan. In many cases, after our deep and professional cleaning, these coats might as well be brand new.

Earlier this year, Wayzata Home Laundry & Dry Cleaners invested in new dry-cleaning equipment. It allows them to use environmentally friendly hydrocarbon-based cleaning solutions, which are also gentler on fabrics. Cleaning the coats, we collect is an extra step for us, says Dynan, but we believe it makes all the difference. Both children and adults receiving these professionally cleaned coats are so pleased.

Wayzata Home Laundry & Dry Cleaners expects to take in and clean more than 300 winter coats this year. Afterwards, the coats will be picked up by St. Bartholomews, and then distributed by Holy Rosary.

Kids grow so fast, observes Dynan. Many children outgrow their winter coats in a single season. If youve noticed that last years coat just doesnt fit, drop it off with us. Well make it look as good as new before it finds a welcome new home.
