<p>Context is everything. Financial issues do make keeping these tasks done harder or at times impossible. I would be thinking about “checking in”, perhaps referring to anything mentioned about current challenges. I would likely do this outside the group. Then if there were any likely possible ways to help, I’d offer- quarters and detergent for the machine, laundry service fees, soaps, etc. If circumstances don’t allow for this be addressed directly and the group was small enough, I’d second your idea of giving a little gift bag of small toiletries I “got at a great sale” and implying that there was more where that came from. Dignity is key here, as is helping to avoid the inevitable isolation. I live in a very nce area; the number of people at our food pantry and community suppers is signficant. Some live in a cold climate without heat at times. Good luck to all.</p>
