WGTS 91.9 Listeners Give Generously to 'Loads of Hope' Project

Story by Lisa Krueger

Her response was one of pure joy. When the WGTS 91.9 team dropped off dozens of bottles of laundry detergent at the women’s center, she couldn’t hold back the tears of appreciation.

WGTS listeners extended hope to hundreds in 2024 in the form of much-needed laundry detergent. It was a unique way of helping many families with a basic and important need. Over the year at Sticker Stops and more, listeners donated 1,347 bottles of laundry detergent to this Hands and Heart campaign, billed “Loads of Hope.” This translates to more than 76,000 loads of laundry!

Places that benefited included the Rockville Women’s Center, the Dulles South Food Bank, The Community Hope Center (located at Seneca Creek Community Church), Cornerstone Chapel, and The Lamb Center.

“Being the hands and heart of Jesus through giving opportunities like this is core to our belief in serving others. Giving hope with needed items like laundry soap is just one way to serve those in our communities,” says Kevin Krueger, president and CEO.
