Janice Laundry is now open!
We are excited to announce that Janice Laundry in Newtown is officially open and is generously donating 10% of its profits to the Cancer Society Wellington!
Melinda and Chris decided to leave their corporate jobs in 2019 to help spread good throughout the greater Wellington community through their charity, Leatham Charitable Trust. After Janice, Melinda’s mum, sadly passed away from cancer, the two have recently turned to support Cancer Society Wellington through an unsuspecting business– self-service laundromats.
As Janice was cared for by Wellington Hospital and the Cancer Society Wellington, the pair felt it was only right that their newly opened laundromat, located just up the road, support the cancer charity. Melinda and Chris also recently made a very generous donation of $10,000! Thank you so much to Melinda and Chris for all you do in our community and for your ongoing support 💛
