Laundry Owners Warehouse Donates New Washing Machine to Support Kids in Need Through In Jacob’s Shoes
Ft. Lauderdale, FL – August 11, 2025 — Laundry Owners Warehouse, known as People You Trust for commercial laundry equipment, parts, and service, has donated a brand-new washing machine to In Jacob’s Shoes, a South Florida nonprofit dedicated to providing shoes, socks, backpacks, and school supplies to children in need.
The washer will help the organization clean thousands of donated shoes, ensuring they are fresh and ready for local kids heading back to school.
Making a Difference, One Load at a Time
In Jacob’s Shoes serves children living in poverty, in shelters, in foster care, or recovering from disasters like fires and hurricanes. Many arrive with shoes that are worn out, don’t fit, or in some cases, no shoes at all. By restoring these donations, the nonprofit helps kids return to school with dignity, confidence, and the supplies they need to succeed.
Since 2009, In Jacob’s Shoes has distributed:
The organization was founded by Murray and Harlene Zweig in memory of their son, Jacob S. Zweig, whose kindness and generosity inspired a lasting mission to help others.
A Partnership Built on Community Values
“At Laundry Owners Warehouse, we’ve always believed our equipment can do more than clean clothes — it can change lives,” said Josh Prager, CEO of Laundry Owners Warehouse. “When we heard about the incredible work In Jacob’s Shoes was doing for local kids, we knew this was an opportunity to put our resources to work for something bigger than business. This washer will help thousands of children walk into the school year with pride.”
Laundry Owners Warehouse is proud to support In Jacob’s Shoes and their mission to serve children across South Florida.
