New Heights Christian Community Development Association is proud to announce the grand opening of its community-focused Laundry Hub in Benton Heights, designed with multifunctional space to bring in community resources.
The new facility is built to revolutionize the ways the community accesses both clean laundry and social services. It is located at 2121 Red Arrow Highway, on the corner of Red Arrow and Euclid Avenue, Benton Harbor,
The grand opening celebration and ribbon-cutting event will take place on May 16 at 5:30 PM. The Laundry Hub features state-of-the-art laundry facilities, intended to provide a convenient option for individuals and families, many constrained by a lack of public transit and the nearest laundromat several miles away.
In addition to 32 new Maytag brand commercial washers and dryers, the hub has 800 square feet of flexible space dedicated to host a range of social services such as health screenings, job training, financial literacy, and more. Partnering agencies, such as LifePlan, Mosaic CCDA, Kinexus, Corewell Health, Lincoln Township Library, Cycle-Re-Cycle, and others, significantly enrich the range of services available.
This list of partner agencies continues to expand, with New Heights currently engaged in discussions with numerous potential collaborators. “We are thrilled to introduce this concept to the Benton Heights community,” said Chris Britton, Executive Director of New Heights CCDA. “Access to clean laundry has been a felt need for many residents for decades. But the Laundry Hub is not just about clean clothes, it’s about empowering people in their everyday lives, within the limited amount of time that they have, by connecting them to vital resources and support.”
New Heights CCDA has collaborated with numerous partners and donors, including First Church of God, Whirlpool Foundation, Frederick S. Upton Foundation, American Electric Power Foundation, Fiskars Construction, and the Corewell Health Foundation – Southwest Michigan, among others. These entities have played a crucial role in bringing this project to fruition.
Community leaders, members of the media, and the public are invited to join New Heights & the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening event.
