Local Sustainability Heroes – Orange Sky

Orange Sky Australia is the world’s first free mobile laundry service. It is dedicated to supporting people experiencing homelessness or doing it tough. The service began in 2014 from a garage in suburban Brisbane. It now operates in 64 locations around Australia and 6 in New Zealand.

Warm showers, clean laundry and community acceptance and inclusion are some of our basic physiological and social human needs. Too often, these needs are inaccessible. Those experiencing homelessness or going through hardship often face this issue.

Orange Sky provides a supportive, welcoming, and inclusive space. It is for people experiencing loneliness or disconnection from the community. They can access free laundry, warm showers, and genuine conversation. In doing so, they implement social sustainability. This promotes good health and well-being. It fosters social inclusion. It also celebrates human rights and dignity.

Eternal World applauds the tireless work of those at Orange Sky. They make our society and culture more just. They also make it more sustainable and kind.
