Chip in for laundry service

Customers at Good Guys stores across the south-east can help Orange Sky Laundry to help the homeless.
Australia’s first mobile laundry service for the homeless turns two years old on World Homeless Day, Monday 10 October, and the Good Guys is raising money for a new van to celebrate.
Stores will sell $2 fund-raising cards, featuring bright orange T-shirts to collect donations throughout October.
“The personalised T-shirt fund-raising cards are featured throughout our store and we hope to see more and more orange cards proudly on display as we edge closer to our ultimate goal,” the Good Guys Dandenong store executive manager Tony Coco said.
That goal is $100,000, and it will allow Orange Sky Laundry to expand its national fleet to 11 vans.
Co-founders Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett aim to restore respect and raise health standards.
