City of Akron Hosting Free Tumble Together Washing and Drying Event on May 20, 2025

Today, Mayor Malik is announcing the City of Akron will host another Tumble Together FREE washing and drying event at the West Side Laundromat located at Super Clean Laundromat, 1739 Brittian Rd., on Tuesday, May 20th from 2pm-6pm. The city will provide free washing and drying for up to three (3) loads of laundry per household. The event is only open to City of Akron residents. 

The city hosted three previous Tumble Together events in 2024, helping 97 families do over 300 loads of laundry. In 2025, the city hosted the first wash day of the year in March, helping over 63 families. The city’s goal is to assist over 200 families this year with clean laundry.

“The feedback from these events has been so positive and so many residents expressed a continued need for free washing and drying events to help those without access to a washer or dryer in their home,” said Mayor Malik. “When times are hard, clean laundry can sometimes become a luxury and we’re proud to step in to help provide this small dignity to folks in need.” 

City representatives and volunteers will be on hand for this event to help our residents. Residents will be required to wash their own clothes for free. Detergent, dryer sheets and meals will also be provided for free.
