Siloam Mission launches laundry social enterprise

Its been three years since Reconnaissance Management Consulting identified commercial laundry as a potential social enterprise to provide training and employment for people in Winnipeg wanting to get back into the workforce. Thanks to a $200,000 investment from the Winnipeg Foundation, the laundry enterprise started up in late 2019. The laundry concept was one of four opportunities identified and evaluated by Marty Donkervoort and Kaye Grant of Reconnaissance Consulting, that specializes in providing assistance in the social economy. The enterprise is operated by the Siloam Mission, a Christian humanitarian organization that exists to alleviate hardships and provide opportunities for transition for those experiencing homelessness.
