laundry nights: a history

Laundry Nights bring our mission into everyday spaces where candid conversations and community connections naturally unfold.

Each of these past events offered a casual, welcoming space for people to gather, share their lived experiences, and explore what gender equity looks like in real life. These gatherings happen on the last Monday of each month and are open to all who are committed to promoting women’s equity >> https://womensfundmke.org/calendar

Below, you’ll find a running list of past Laundry Nights by year, including the generous hosts and venues who made them possible.
