Parking
We’d like to thank everyone for their attention and compliance with the parking email we sent out a few weeks ago. As a reminder, spots labeled “LP Parking” are for the customers of the Laundry Palace only. Unauthorized vehicles will be towed without warning. If you come out to find your vehicle has been towed, you must contact the Fall River Police Department at 508-676-8511. You will then have to pay a $250+ fee to retrieve your car. We ask that you continue to comply with this matter, as we would want the same for our own customers and our PDA parking spots. Thank you!
Fundraising for Homeless Children: Soles4Souls
We are excited to once again help out in the Race4EveryKid, because every kid deserves a good pair of shoes! Miss Jocelyn’s sister and her DSW Market team are leading this event. Soles4Souls’ mission is very important to us, and we are proud to help them make a difference in the lives of children experiencing homelessness. You can help us by pledging or making a flat donation during the month of May to support kids here in the Northeast region and across the country. Every dollar raised supports this cause directly! Click here to donate and please add our region “Northeast” in the memo. Thank you for helping us support this important cause for the second year in a row!
