Did you know that more than half of the people around the world spend up to 20 hours a week washing clothes by hand? This unpaid labor falls primarily on women and girls. The Washing Machine Project Supported by Whirlpool Foundation is tackling this challenge with manual washing machines — an innovation that saves users up to 75% of time and 50% of water. Now you can see the manual washing machines up close right here in Geneseo!

Saturday, October 4 | 9 AM – 2 PM
Village Home Stores

Live demos of the manual washing machine (presentations every hour)
Extra raffle tickets for attending a demo or trying the #washout challenge
Fun giveaways — free bottled water, detergent samples, laundry bags & more
Raffle for a limited-edition KitchenAid stand mixer raffle at 12:45 PM!

Come learn, get inspired, and support this life-changing cause — all while enjoying a great day at State Street Market!
