Our action:
THE LAUNDRY TRUCK LA
You wear, we wash: 1 clothing purchase = 1 pound of clean laundry for PEOPLE experiencing homelessness.
Our non-profit, The Laundry Truck LA (TLTLA), is at the heart of our local social mission. Clean clothing is an essential part of healthy hygiene and overall self-esteem.
TLTLA aims to restore a bit of dignity and hope to local people experiencing
homelessness through free mobile laundry services. By providing cleaning
amenities for clothes, we contribute to individuals’ ability to secure housing
and employment.
Through TLTLA, we facilitate opportunities for our employees
and customers to volunteer and make an impact. Our proceeds, your donations
and the City of Los Angeles keep The Laundry Truck LA moving and making an impact.
🧺 37,630 POUNDS WASHED IN 2021
WE HAVE DONATED 80,000+ MASKS SINCE MARCH 2020
During the 2020 pandemic, DOLAN has pledged to donate 80,000+ masks to essential workers through our one-for-one initiative, donating one mask for every protective essentials item purchased through our site. We will continue this pledge as long as there is a need to provide protection to our communities.
“We are committed to supporting our city - most notably with our nonprofit, The Laundry Truck LA, which provides people experiencing homelessness with free mobile laundry services. Our recent masks initiative is another way that we
are ‘giving back' and working to make a positive impact on our community.”

Our product:
For us, social responsibility means mindful participation in efforts to improve the wellbeing of ourselves, our neighbors and our world. When COVID-19 brought new challenges, our response was to evolve our products to care for and protect our customers.
As a result, we thoughtfully create flattering, functional pieces that are intentionally designed to improve quality of life. We create from a sustainability point of view and embed our products with science to provide advancements like antibacterial, temperature regulation and environmental protections.
At DOLAN, we combine utility and fashion, continuously innovating our products to support health and wellness – for our customers and the community at large.
Social impact:
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, we completely shifted our entire brand direction to maintain and increase jobs, while transitioning our product offerings to directly support the wellness and safety of our community. We remain committed to:
- Supporting TLTLA operations and reach with a % of our proceeds.
- Continuing our one-for-one mask initiative.
- Facilitating volunteer opportunities for our employees and customers.
By 2025 we commit to:
- Transparent supply chain.
- Investment in diversity across all levels of the company.
Environmental impact:
We cannot protect people if we don’t care for the environment.
By 2025 we commit to:
- Eliminate all virgin plastic.
- Produce 50% of all products that can be recycled and/or made using sustainable, recyclable materials.
- Continue to implement sustainable innovations, such as antibacterial finishes, in all our products to help reduce water consumption.
- And new on the horizon: we’re partnering with others to recycle DOLAN garments and turn them into thread—and use it to create new products. Stay tuned!
