Laundrycares Foundation, North Shore Bank, Quick Wash, and City of Milwaukee Host Free “Laundry and Literacy Day” on April 30th

Empowering families in Milwaukee with a brand-new Read, Play, Learn Space at the northwest Milwaukee Laundromat

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – North Shore Bank, LaundryCares Foundation and City of Milwaukee’s Office of Early Childhood Initiatives today announced the collaborative initiative to address the early childhood literacy gap in the Milwaukee community with the creation and opening of a brand-new “Read, Play, Learn” space at northwest Milwaukee laundromat, Quick Wash, located at 7903 W. Capitol Drive.

On Tuesday, April 30, residents of Milwaukee are invited to attend a “Free Laundry and Literacy Day” event from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Quick Wash Laundromat where they will enjoy complimentary laundry services, refreshments, and engaging early financial literacy activities for children and adults, and door prizes. There are no limitation on the amount of clothing and linens that can be brought in for free washing and drying.
Throughout the afternoon, children can participate in reading and early financial literacy activities in the new “Read, Play, Learn Space” that is outfitted with a lounge space and 50 new and culturally affirming books, meant to create a welcoming atmosphere where families can relax and learn while spending their time at the laundromat. The books are encouraged to be taken home for continued learning and will be continuously replenished. Additionally, the LaundryCares Foundation will provide attendees with access to a free digital library through a grant with BookSmart-World Reader.

To meet the needs of the community, books will be bilingual and through the partnership with North Shore Bank, more than 25% of the books will cover financial literacy to help young children start successful spending, saving and sharing practices from a young age.

To lend ongoing literacy support, the partners have established a monthly “Summer Series of Literacy Days” where the community is welcome to attend onsite programming, with events covering a range of topics, including financial literacy. The “Summer Literacy Days” will be held on Wednesdays, June 12, July 17, and August 14 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Quick Wash Laundromat. Light refreshments and complimentary drying services will be offered.

“As a community bank with a branch next door to Quick Wash, these are the neighbors that we aim to support day in and day out. It was a natural fit for us to join the laundromat, LaundryCares and the City of Milwaukee in this partnership to make learning more accessible for all, a mission of our bank as well,” said Jay McKenna, president and CEO of North Shore Bank. “We can’t wait to support and grow the future of the community with these much-needed learning essentials.”

LaundryCares created this program with the goal of enriching communities around the country through programming that address the unmet needs of laundry customers and brings together public, private and philanthropic collaboration.

Dan Naumann, executive vice president of LaundryCares Foundation and a Milwaukee resident says, “This partnership with Quick Wash and North Shore Bank is an exemplar for us and provides targeted, curated books that match community needs, interests and wants and helps build critical school readiness skills. With the generosity and vision of North Shore Bank, we are creating a special emphasis on early math and financial literacy skills so all of Milwaukee’s children can have Mighty Good Moments.”

In addition to the books, giant SideWalk Math Pattern decals have been installed onsite for continued and accessible interactive early math learning, a goal of the City of Milwaukee’s Office of Early Childhood Initiatives.
“Our young children will have a brighter future because of caring partners who are promoting learning. We know early childhood development takes place in all kinds of settings, so opening special opportunities to more of Milwaukee’s children is great for them, their families, and the entire city,” said Dea Wright, director of the Office of Childhood Initiatives for the City of Milwaukee.

Family Read, Play & Learn spaces, established in select laundromats nationwide, provide child-friendly and comfortable learning environments that promote school readiness—an essential need often unmet in historically marginalized communities. These impactful programs are made possible through the joint efforts of local partners who join forces to create the Laundry Literacy Coalition, focused on supporting early language development in young children.

Current Balance, also known as Account Balance or Ledger Balance, means the funds in your account, including deposits and withdrawals made to date. Not all your transactions will be immediately reflected. As a result, only part of this balance may be available for withdrawal. The Current Balance does not include checks or payments, including debit card transactions, that you have initiated but have not yet cleared your account.

Available Balance means the amount of money that can be withdrawn at a point in time. The Available Balance will be less than the Current Balance when there are pending transactions such as:

Funds held from deposits: These funds have been deposited, but are not yet fully available for withdrawal or transfer.
Funds held for debit card authorizations: This reflects merchant-authorized requests for payment, when the final charge has not been submitted by the merchant. ATM and PIN-based debit card transactions usually post the same business day and other everyday signature-based debit card transactions usually post within 4 business days. This means that your available balance may not accurately reflect pending debit card authorizations until the transaction is received by us and paid from your account (i.e., posted). Even though we may increase your Available Balance when a merchant does not submit the transaction for payment in a timely manner, the obligation to the merchant still applies.
Any other holds on funds in your account.

The Available Balance does not reflect every transaction you have initiated or previously authorized. Items that may not be reflected in your Available Balance include, but are not limited to:

Outstanding checks and authorized automatic withdrawals (such as recurring debit card transactions, transfers, and ACH transactions that we have not received for payment or processing).
The final amount of a debit card purchase. For example, we may authorize a purchase amount from a gas station, but the authorized amount may be different from the final charge.
Scheduled bill payments or other direct payments to other people that have not yet been processed.
Debit card transactions that have been previously authorized but not sent to us for payment from your account where we have released the transaction authorization hold and the transaction is sent for payment from your account at a later date.

North Shore Bank authorizes and pays transactions using the Available Balance in your account. If you have Standard Coverage, the Available Balance for checks, ACH items, and recurring debit card transactions includes the amount of the Overdraft Privilege limit and any available Overdraft Protection. The Available Balance for ATM and everyday debit card transactions on accounts includes any available Overdraft Protection, but does NOT include the Overdraft Privilege Limit. For accounts with Extended Coverage, the Overdraft Privilege Limit is included in the Available Balance for authorizing ATM and everyday debit card transactions.

An easy way to keep track of your transaction history is to enroll in Online Banking or the Mobile App if you are not already enrolled.

1 Distributions taken prior to age 59½ are subject to an IRS penalty. Your contributions to a Traditional IRA may or may not be tax-deductible. Deductibility is determined by two factors, whether you actively participate in an employer-maintained qualified retirement plan and your modified adjusted gross income. (Consult your tax advisor)

2 Income limits affect eligibility to contribute. You can begin taking "distribution" withdrawals from a Roth IRA without paying taxes or penalties if you have held the account for at least 5 years, and have reached at least 59½ years of age. Unlike with a Traditional IRA, there is no requirement to withdraw a minimum amount at any age. (Consult your tax advisor)
