Earlier this month, local nonprofit About Our Father's Business (AOFB) launched the first of three mobile laundry and shower trailers.
Why it matters: The trailers will bring free laundry, shower and personal care services directly to underserved communities in Charlotte.
But first, it's been sent to western North Carolina to help people affected by Hurricane Helene.
Between the lines: Organizers told WCNC they plan to start going to underserved communities once or twice a month with hopes of eventually visiting each neighborhood more than 10 times a month.
Zoom out: In addition to mobile laundry services, AOFB also provides warm meals and essential items, as well as spiritual support and encouragement to vulnerable communities.
